Depends who it's addressed to. To me the " - " sounds more commanding whereas the " , " has a more neutral tone.

Agree with GS1 on tone, would also add the "," feels more formal.

Don't use hi just say first name

Literally could not matter less... I use the former though

In very rare cases I would miss the persons name. And once you add the persons name, I feel the comma looks best.
But I second the first comment - Noone really does (or should) care, unless you are emailing a recruiter/HR/interviewer (in which case Keep Formal and Carry On)

Anyone know the AOR for Bendavia (elamipretide) from Stealth BioTherapeutics? Or if anyone is doing market prepping for them? Thanks in advance!!

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
