#+title: Don't Say Hello
#+date: 2024-01-08
#+description: A short post describing my displeasure with cliffhanger conversations.
#+filetags: :personal:
I recently came back from a winter break and have started working
again... only to immediately run into the dilemma of people sending me
cliffhanger messages again.
* No Hello
A year or two ago, I discovered [[https://nohello.net/en/][no hello]]
and have thought about it often since then. I've even sent it to a few
people since then (who wouldn't take offense to it).
I work in a fast-paced environment where efficiency is extremely
valuable. Therefore, I have always held a deep displeasure for
conversations where people start with "Hello" and then.
I searched back through my work messages and found that I received ~50
messages from ~10 people last year from people that contained "hi",
"hey", or "hello" and did not contain any indication of the purpose of
the conversation. I also noticed that a few of the users were
responsible for the large majority of the cliffhangers.
There's no real point to this post, just a desparate request for people
to please stop doing this.
