I was told by my manager that I should smile more and should always say hi when i meet someone from other department，because that would effect my probation review？！！

I mean smile as much as you want, if you got a resting bitch face it is how it is, but saying hi is something I'd always do. It shows respect and is nice.

Isn't that supposed to be general etiquette!?

@peacWhis really? you greeting to everyone everyday?

@peacWhis do you feel offended if someone didn't say hi to you?

@starer93 I do greet everyone I meet on the floor and I do feel offended if I say hi to someone and they don't say hi back.

@jonii I always greeting back, so that's not an issue. I mean if you didn't greet in the first place, would you feel offended ？

I loathe places where office politics matter more than productivity and talent.

Backstabbing useless assholes always rise quickest in such environments because that's exactly what such environments reward.

And the productive, talented people are the only ones keeping such places afloat. So it's best to simply leave when you notice it. People like that will never learn, but it does save you from considerable amounts of misery by leaving.
