How do people feel about someone opening a Monday morning meeting with "Happy Monday!"? This does not necessarily put me in a good mood.

I don’t feel anything. It’s just a greeting. Don’t overthink it.

I know so many unemployed people who would love to be annoyed by a “Happy Monday” meeting greeting.

Do you expect them to open the meeting like Scarface from Half Baked?

“Hope everyone had a good weekend….” or no small talk intro at all beyond, “hi everyone.”

This is why I always join meetings a few minutes late.

Get over it. It’s simply someone attempting to break ice into a moody group. If this is your biggest challenge to focus on then you have it pretty good.

Why do companies do this? I interviewed with a company. They loved my work and told me that I’m going to start the following week. They made me sign all of the onboarding papers and poof ghosted me! 🤦‍♀️ I feel so down right now! And I feel like I won’t be able to ever land a job!
