Saying hello and then your inquiry is what every example in the website says is the right thing to do. Who is saying you shouldn't say hello at all?

- burnished 3y agoI think the tone being kind of sassy and put apon over a small inconvenience shifts the focus from the more constructive parts of the message and in that sense I agree with the person you are responding to - the etiquette evangelists might be more effective if they did less spleen venting.
- em3rgent0rdr 3y agoThe marketing of "no hello" (nohello.net) is contrary to what those examples say. So maybe there is a better way to market it instead of "no hello". Like maybe "just ask the question", or "start with a query", or "Don't just hello".
- FireInsight 3y agoI feel like this almost falls under dont ask to ask https://dontasktoask.com/ https://dontasktoask.com/ which is a clearer ask.
- sanarothe 3y agoMy boss always sends a hello first, usually 1 to 5 minutes before I get the thing I'm actually supposed to respond to. If she just sent the whole thing at once, I could determine if it's something I need to break focus for immediately, or get to in a few minutes.
