I like saying hey first and wait for a response before I wanna gossip to make sure they aren’t with someone else looking over their shoulder at their laptop.
Mine is “hi”
Hate to be ‘that’ person but there is quite a big cultural element to this, particularly with the teams in India. Global mindset!! Also, have you ever given the people who just say ‘hello’ the feedback that it bothers you? Here’s a concept I only recently learned - you don’t have the right to be upset with someone until you have told them that what they did upset you. You have to give the person the opportunity to either explain why or learn from it. Just allowing yourself to feel upset/annoyed is a waste of energy.
You are definitely right! Was more thinking of people not abroad to be honest (have to pick word battles with posting limits).
Hello 😁
Hello...
My team in india does that all the time. Grinds my gears. Just ask the question and move on.
Thank you EY 25. This is how I feel when I pin people starting with only “hello how are you?”
In the US, that usually only happens when someone is about to shit talk someone else.
In India, I think they are trained to do this?!!! It also drives me crazy!
Have you ever told them that you don’t like it? My India team knows not to do that. It’s to the point or put it in email. They also know not to ping me questions about a client because how many times I could miss it due to too many ims
I swear I constantly feel like it’s a trap and way more stressful than just Hi xx I have a question about xyz wp
Definitely feels like a trap 😂 I agree
At first it did, but now I know it’s to confirm my availability to respond. What I don’t like is that it’s replaced email. Unless it’s a quick question, or an urgent need, I think all requests should still go through email so there’s a paper trail. Some people use it to be petty. I once had someone purposely message me when I had my status set to “away” to see how long it would take me to respond.
L.O.L
Maybe they are busy and don’t want to be bothered. Better to start with a hello and wait for a response before you blast off a bunch of questions or requests.
I want to know what you want before I decide if I’m ignoring you or leaving you on read
This is a pet peeve of mine. I’d rather you just get to the point. We can have small talk IRL
Wow-seriously...a whole flipping thread in “hello”?
A flipping thread :) Tnettenba
Maybe they just wanna talk
Ha I’ve taken to ignoring them if they are not people I am good friends with (and we vent, so they need to make sure no one’s looking at my laptop like D1 said haha). They will either ask the question or honestly, it’s probably not that important.
Same, I literally stop replying. They get the point eventually and move forward with the question
It's the equivalent of "is this a good time" . It is being polite. If you respond, means you are ready for the question that may be confidential or sensitive in nature. If you want to ignore, then ignore. An ignored "hello" may result to an email or a call, depending on the urgency. I am not used to this manner of messaging as well but in no way annoyed by it. Also, Skype deletes messages if you "accidentally" close it.
A couple of weeks ago there was a post complaining about people Skyping without saying hello or asking how are you and not waiting for your response. It looks like you can’t win - if you say hello, someone will complain and if you don’t, someone will complain.
“Hi there, hope you are well! Do you have a moment for a question?” Would be completely appropriate. Give a greeting and get to the point. “Hi” blank space is too nebulous
I never use Skype because of this. If people need me they can email me.
I hate when I respond to the hello and they dont reply back for awhile.
Haha YES. What’s up with that?!! That’s why I just stopped responding lol.
I do not reply to “hi” or “hello” messages.
Like all emails from HR - exit out and delete.
If it’s from a higher up, it can be used as a trap. Once you reply to the “hello”; it is harder to ignore a “can you do xyz?”. Whereas, if you just received a message saying “can you do xyz?”, it is easier to delay responding in hopes that they will change their mind or pass it along to someone else, etc. It eliminates the ability to say “omg just saw your message now!”
Appropriate response: Immediately sign-off.
To be honest I think I prefer hello over using it as an option to sending a laundry list of requests that assumes you will do that for them
