Rather, you can't have both "I often ask for help" and "I don't need to listen to advice".
I also don't understand how this thread got so ad-hominem so quickly, with you acting like you know me well enough to put me in a category of people "who often ask for help", and then imply that those people are less entitled to autonomous choices on how to conduct themselves.
Sure, but it's a post which strongly resonates with many people.
...the fact that there's resonance here is something I'm only beginning to become aware of right now, as I see how people are reacting right here to what I wrote above.
I say this with 6 years of work for fully-remote companies under my belt. In those 6 years no one has ever complained about a "hello", none of those companies had this in their "netiquette" guides, and I've been on the receiving end of "hello" many times.
It has just always seemed like the most innocuous and normal thing in the world to me. So it's really weird to see people reacting so strongly right here.
