Question: I may not verbally greet people I don't directly work with or interact with. Is that considered rude? I am just not a good small talker,but I am not sure if my intention with small things like this will be misunderstood.
- stallmanite 7y agoStack Overflow has a “workplace” topic that is great for this kind of question.
- badrabbit 7y agoI don't really use SO but thanks. I thought it was on topic for the post,my apologies.
- stallmanite 7y agoI didn't mean to imply that you were off-topic, I've just found lots of useful answers to this type of question on SO. I never post on SO myself due to the really wacked out incentive structure over there leading to excessive lawyering and nitpicking. The stuff that manages to not get closed for bs reasons is really high quality though so I just treat it as a read only resource.
- Gibbon1 7y agoI'll answer your question, it's not rude. But developing communication between yourself and people outside your immediate work is helpful in getting a bigger picture about what's going on in your workplace. Having a bigger picture can make you more effective and useful.
- badrabbit 7y agoThanks much for the advise.
