Have you ever had a colleague that kept using the IM system just to write, "hi"?What do they want? Why can't they just be more clear? Why are they so annoying and should they be thrown into the sun? In this episode of the Conflict Skills Podcast, Simon Goode tackles a common yet surprisingly irritating workplace communication issue: colleagues who send instant messages that simply say "hi"—and nothing else. Drawing from a Reddit case study and its lively comment section, Simon Goode explores why this behavior can be so frustrating, especially on asynchronous platforms like email or chat, where quick and purposeful exchanges are expected.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Extreme Workplace Conflict Case Study05:46 "Navigating Communication and Conflict"08:19 Open Communication and Understanding10:16 Boundaries and Clear Communication Tips14:57 Clear Communication and ChoicesClick here to send me a quick message via FanMailSupport the showThank you so much for listening!
