There’s a person in an office in a different country that keeps pinging me and just saying “hey” I respond and say “hey” and they don’t respond. In six months it has happened 4 times now. What to do?

Maybe she does not want you to forget her 😍

I’m a guy and she’s a girl and yeah we have the same last name. So it’s not that random. We talked shortly one time and she noted if I’m ever in her country we should go on a date but it’s just weird with the fact that she says hey but doesn’t respond back to me when I say hey back.

Wtf. And the plot thickens

Maybe she just wants her superior to see that she’s interacting with folks from other countries so she can get those Global Acumen points

Probably somebody with the same name as you they were trying to find

This happens to me all the time, someone in Austria has my name in the same service and he’s the same level as me

Are they tech support?

No

Maybe she wants you to carry the convo?

Silly, tell her a joke. String this along. I’m a girl so assuming she is testing your true interest. Show that you care and want to maintain contact. Ask her what she’s working on or if everything is ok. Tell her something you want share about yourself, etc etc. However, if you’re not interested, please don’t encourage. Would hate for someone to waste my time!

Ahahah I hate people that just say hey.

Hey [insert name] makes a big difference

Find out what office they are in and start messaging all of the individual’s coworkers the same thing

Is it fraud or somehow bad to just start and quit a 2nd job every 1-2 months once you actually start to have to do real work? The first few weeks of most jobs tend to be pretty low stress and an easy paycheck or 2. And if you only do this at employers you wouldn't return to, is there a downside?

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
