I found this only works with my American and Indian colleagues.
My co-workers in the UK and Europe made it clear it was rude if I didn't do a good morning / how was your weekend /.etc. song and dance with them on every interaction.

Me: Hey, what's up? Them: How is your morning going? Me: Pretty good, yourself? Working on X, had a relaxing weekend. What's going on? Them: Yeah, good. [back to business]
