It's funny to see this here. I manage a large team and just the other day had to deal with irate employees who are arguing over whether they should be saying "Good morning" to each other when they come into the office.
One employee thinks it should almost be "mandatory" to greet each other, where the other employee says she isn't in the headspace to be greeting people early in the morning and would rather get settled at her desk. Pretty obvious, but these two employees hate eachother and this is a sign of a bigger problem.
- 93po 1y agoi would hope my manager wouldnt see this as irate employeeS but rather one employee trying to be controlling by forcing another one to bark a response like a trained dog when they've made it clear what their boundaries are for early morning communications. allowing communication boundaries between employees is a pretty basic tenet of treating them with the respect humans deserve
- giarc 1y agoI try to explain to the one employee that is fine to have the expectation that others say Good Morning, but it's also fine that the other employee doesn't want to engage that way. Both things can be true and right at the same time. She doesn't adjust her position and still thinks it's a requirement.
- rsynnott 1y agoQuite frankly this sounds like something from The Office.

- rufus_foreman 1y ago>> the other employee says she isn't in the headspace to be greeting people early in the morning and would rather get settled at her desk Uh-oh. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.
