It's funny to see this here. I manage a large team and just the other day had to deal with irate employees who are arguing over whether they should be saying "Good morning" to each other when they come into the office.
One employee thinks it should almost be "mandatory" to greet each other, where the other employee says she isn't in the headspace to be greeting people early in the morning and would rather get settled at her desk. Pretty obvious, but these two employees hate eachother and this is a sign of a bigger problem.
i would hope my manager wouldnt see this as irate employeeS but rather one employee trying to be controlling by forcing another one to bark a response like a trained dog when they've made it clear what their boundaries are for early morning communications. allowing communication boundaries between employees is a pretty basic tenet of treating them with the respect humans deserve
