I type “hey” because I don’t want to seem like I’m just demanding something right away.

"hey" is easier to ignore in a meeting or if you are presenting. I don't know where you are. I view it as respectful.

Helpful, but still convinced it’s just bait on the coworkers part to get you to answer and trap you into something more complex

I refuse to answer these kinds of messages. If you have enough time to sit there & wait for a response, you should have sent an email to begin w

I’m the Gen X and I don’t like it. It assumes I have time to engage in conversation, but I don’t. Need requests written up concisely and I’ll respond

I greatly prefer something like, “hey, let me know when you have time for a question.” Takes two seconds longer and avoids this annoyance

Okay but why do they tag us when they are DMing us? Like, the message goes directly to me.. why do you also feel the need to @ me 🙃

I’m Gen X. Nope. I do not understand it and it drives me up the f’g wall. It’s not gen specific on who does it.

The Practical DM :
I'm GenX, I deliver the full message right from the start. I think people do the hey because they are trying to be polite.

Our corporate chat still works that way. It’s no excuse to behave to like that. If they go offline mid paragraph, send it in email

If you want to send a paragraph - send an email, if it isn’t urgent, send an email but “hey” just disrupted my thought - then you ghosted me😬

Hahahahaha obviously not! That’s the lamest excuse I’ve heard for people with poor communication skills and zero criteria, common sense… Come on!

“Hey” is less egregious if it’s followed immediately by something of substance. Though it’d be better to include at the beginning of the message.

Hey! Are we readying too much into things these days? What if we just took things less seriously and assumed the best from IMs?

I never thought I’d live to see etiquette treated as bad etiquette. Old people are so bitter.

Its also a way to make sure you are avaulable, not just impeding on your time aka trying to be polite .
