>at work
>someone sends a message in chat
>"Hello"
>doesn't elaborate further or follow up
Why are they like this?

corporate assholes, you ask them questions, they don't answer, nobody is accountable now.

sometimes I write my colleagues a simple "." just to fuck them up hahahahaahah
>>
>>106392814
Haha great find! I'm going to steal this if you don't mind. A real hoot.
>>
>>106392051
I’ve seen this a lot. They’re basically setting a trap. By saying just “hello” first, they force you to reveal you’re present before dropping their real request, which pressures you into responding immediately when you otherwise wouldn’t. They’re manipulative assholes.

>>106392051
>heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
>>
>>106392865
Take your meds, schizo. Some people just have manners and deliver proper greetings.
>>
>>106392865
>say what's up
>they drop an annoying request expecting you to be forced to answer right away
>don't answer right away
I don't see why this is complicated.
>>
They probably asked a few people and got their answer already
>>
>>106392051
I just don’t respond until they elaborate. People learn pretty quickly.
>>106392814
I had someone put this in their status message. This is a great way for people to assume you’re a complete asshat and get yourself on a layoff list.

>t. actually have a job and have to work with people (not imaginary)

>nohello

that seems a little autistic. i can some people want to be polite or don't want to just feel like they're using me for information, so they start with a "hey" or "good morning." it's not all about information efficiency

>>106392051
>They are indian obviously

>>106392829
a more devilish thing is to even delete that message

Did you read it?

> If you feel it's a bit brusque to simply say "Hi" and ask the question, you can still preface your message with as many pleasantries as you see fit.
>For example:
>>"hey man, what's up? also, any idea when that thing's due?"

It's about effective asynchronous communication. The only people who don't get this are people whose first exposure to the internet was creating a facebook account in 2010

>>106393184
how fucking autistic are you lmao
you have never touched a girl's breasts
>>
>>106392865
>I'll take a look
>I'll get back to you a little later

Will you get fired?
