On a related topic, does anyone know why upper management people exclusively do not use greetings (hi, hello, etc.) on their emails? Yes, there are rank-and-file people who do that too, but I notice 99% people in leadership positions write emails like text messages. Maybe because they’re on their phones most of the time and/or use speech-to-text? But I know a lot of them who do this even on their laptops. I dunno, it just gives this air of superiority complex to me.
How else do you figure out who is being addressed? (I extremely rarely send an email to one person, there’s almost always like 3-7 people in the to and cc fields combined).
It’s so reliable I can set up filters for “Hi Name” & “Hello Name” and catch like 97.5% of the emails addressed mainly to me, vs ones I should just know about.
Almost everyone I know says “Hi Name” at the start.
Chat messages, not so much. Depends how old the person I’m talking to is.
The number of older people who will just write “Hi Name” and wait for me to respond is insane. This isn’t a phone call, you don’t have to wait for me to say hello lol
