Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I can’t be be the only one, but I am surrounded by multiple people that just do not believe in async communication. They first send a “hi”, wait for me to acknowledge and then only proceed to tell me what they want. Even if it is something ridiculous like “What is the URL to access this portal?”. 

I generally am very quick with messages and from the last few months, this “hi” business is ticking me off. I decided to do some social experiment and delayed my responses to hi. 

If someone just sends me a “hi”, I schedule a “hi” to 3 hours from then. Result? People would rather sit on blockers than tell me what they want. 

I then tried a decreasing backoff. If you texted me a “hi” once, I’d respond in 3 hours. Repeat it a second time, I’d respond in 4 hours. 5 hours the third time, 6 hours the fourth and so on. 

Results? People would still rather I acknowledge their “hi” than tell me what they want.  

Some anecdotes of how “efficient” communication is:

1. A guy wanted access to a portal that I managed. He pinged me a “hi” every morning for 7 straight days before actually asking me what he wants. 
2. Another person wanted to understand git commands that can be used to solve merge conflicts. But not before pinging “hi” for 4 days, then just pulling me into a call with their manager and their manager pinging me a “hi” when I declined the call. 
3. Another person wanted an update on a ticket I closed 2 years ago. All he wanted was a change request number, which he could find using control + F on the Jira portal. He chose to send “hi”s to multiple team mates of mine when I didn’t respond. 

Ultimately, I started telling people to not just ping and disappear and that they can reach out to me. But I guess old habits die hard and I still receive multiple “hi”s. 

Merko unkin”hi” lag gayi. 

Also, before you scream at me for ranting about such a piddi problem. https://nohello.net/en/ is the thing.

Folks that ping “hi” and disappear

Ladies, guys aren't looking for Coldplay tickets on dating apps . Women really need to stop asking this question, thinking they're going to get a good response. 

1. Liars will lie, can't check for truth 
2. Those who are honest will mostly be punished for honesty (unless the intentions actually match)

The point of dating is to meet people over time and figure them out. You can't really do that over text, regardless of gender. 

Ask better questions, like - do you see yourself getting married some day ? (if that's what you're looking for)

Or - what's your view on modern relationships? 

Learn subtlety, please. This approach isn't going to help you filter out men any better.

Are you tired of every one ending sentences with.. "right"?

What's the dating policy at your company? Our stupid HR said that dating is not allowed..and you can be terminated if you date your colleague? I'm going out with this chick in design.while it's not official but we know where it's heading. Should I disclose to HR?

Dating policy

Just tell me what you want first so I can decide if I want to respond to you?

Hate it when people do this...

Is it normal or okay to seek for validation from other women after being married to the love of your life?
*Married for few months now 
*Love marriage
*Good looking wife

Seek validation from other women

Let me go- 
Coworker who used to lie a lot and spread rumours. Like they'll make up a story in their head, and start telling random things. Once she pinged everyone saying that I got engaged, and I suddenly started receiving texts in company groups 🤷🏾

What are some of the worst habits of your coworker?

Nothing major, but this bothers me a lot! 
 "Hi" 
 Just say what you want to say instead of waiting for me to reply
