I try to say hello/ good morning to all of the people I see. Some mornings I really don't feel like talking so I'll just smile and give them a slight head nod.

when its forced and insincere. yes.
exactly.
I'm the nicest when I want to be and when I say good morning to someone who wont say it bakk to me at all or even in a nice way, ill stop saying good morning.
fukk them. slap me 3 times, and ill cut you off
but ive noticed sometimes when you do that, finally cut them off from the courtesy, then down the line when you say "good morning"...they'll finally say it or even much nicer than ever
makes no sense.

Everywhere...You never there.
nah, im 30 feet behind and you holding the door so i have to walk faster to walk through it.

:martin:


and it's seems sometimes people wanna force you to hasten your stride to appease them. it really shifts from "courtesy" to attempted control at that point. Bout to start waving people off if I'm 20+ feet away on some :stop:"thanks, but I'm good. "

I understand the sentiment, but it speaks to a larger issue, and that is coexistence at the workplace. I dont acknowledge certain people at work, or i give them the bare minimum when it comes to interactions if we have a checkered past.

However, im of the opinion that when relationships are strictly business, "good morning" has a place and a role in that relationship. Strictly business doesnt mean robotic.

Then again, im also keen on being the bigger person so, :manny:

Today I only said good morning to my direct neighbor who said it first and it was a general gm not even sure it was directed to me may have been for someone else smh

Another chick that sit across from me make eye contact with me as I walked in the door so as I entered the aisle she said GM so I said it back

Professionally, for me, a full fledged, deliberate, even forced "Good Morning" is reserved for meetings/ proposals with potential investors/ partners and visitors to the office whom arrive before noon. if I'm seeing you everyday. ..



....get to fukkin work.



Offices are already too chatty anyway. You usually, eventually acknowledge each other in some way anyway during the natural course of things .


Let the people who like to say that shyt initiate it and try to respond by acknowledging them in some way. This shouldn't be an issue if you've put in your work at the job anyway. Tolerance of idiosyncrasies is.the reward of exceptional performance. At that point you've earned the right to initiate or not initiate.

At first it doesn't seem like it makes sense...but when you look at it like this it becomes clearer...
