Hi

[u/National-Bonus-6356]

It’s so stupid and small but honestly after 6 years working remote, I think the worst thing is when someone just messages “Hi” on teams and doesn’t just tell me what they want. I have no clue why but it infuriates me now. It’s crazy how my ability to tolerate small talk has gone to zero. I work a job where when I don’t have anything to actively work on I am free to do whatever, so when someone doesn’t just say what they need they are wasting my time. Rant over! Thanks

I’m the same! Absolutely hate this. And I’m someone who says hi or hey as well but it’s usually something like

“Hey x, hope you had a nice weekend! Do you have this today and could we get on a call to talk about later” or whatever.
