Teams/Slack Messaging

Why do people just say “Hi” or “IM?” and wait for you to respond before asking their question? Just send your question! #culture #officelife #workplace

I hate it so much. I’ve left people on read for 2 days before responding.

The same reason you say hello on a phone call. Cuz it's polite.

Unlike a phone call, messaging allows for asynchronous communication. Now if I reply 20 minutes later with sup and you’ve faffed off for 20 minutes I haven’t answered your question yet and now 40 minutes has passed where if you had simply said hi, here’s my question I could have answered hi, here it is, saving time and mental energy. If anything it’s more rude to waste my time.

Shocker to see someone from Intel saying this. I’ll start with you. Stop doing this. Thanks 😊

To be polite to see if you are available to answer a question. Why do you post a stupid question you know the answer to? Do you feel important?
