That’s some boomer slack usage. If anyone sends a message with “hi” they get a stern bollocking by me immediately. Our company handbook specifically forbids doing this.
- rpmisms 3y agoCan you say "Hi, I need XYZ"? Or are pleasantries forbidden?
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoThat's usually not an issue. It's the empty "Hi." and then indefinite silence that's an issue. You wouldn't send a letter with just the salutation, you'd include the message! Why treat a Slack message like it's a phone call instead of like a (short, rapidly delivered) letter?
- rpmisms 3y agoAgreed, just wanted clarification!
- rqtwteye 3y agoThe boomers actually get to the point quickly. The young guys are the ones that send ten messages before getting to the point.
- helij 3y agoThis. All most of 20-30 that I interact with are. Hi, how are you doing today? And then pause. Boomers just go straight to the point. I'm also huge proponent of https://nohello.net/en/ https://nohello.net/en/ in the workplace and elsewhere.
