Sorry if I'm misreading this, but you say "I already am an introverted person that too with some flavor of social anxiety". In my experience, the other team members are supposed to have a problem to get you into their "gang", not the other way around. What am I missing?

@Lilienthal that's a close-vote request generator script, I (and many others) use this is SO (for SOCVR Room). The trigger is manual, formatting and post is automatic.

@Old_Lamplighter Good option, but not an option here. With lockdown in effect, if you want to enter the office campus, you need a justification and permission from various levels - so even if I wanted to go, I could not.

Address is fine, so is distance from office (can be obtained easily). but how do they know you live in a shared accommodation? Oh...your colleagues.....

@terdon Well, I don't know if I'm making a "claim" as such, all I can say is that there is a universal (or global, or publicly available/ known) statement, and from my personal experience, I can attest to that. Now, whether that statement is applicable to anyone specific - I cannot ascertain that. However, if you say that it is not correct, you are free do do so and provide your use-case / example. There's nothing absolutely right or absolutely wrong, just what works for most of the people. :)

@terdon While I respect your view, can you provide some evidence that mentions otherwise?

that's all
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:57
I'm not contesting the fact the OP should do what is asked of them, but it's also good to know what the usual norm is, around the geographies.
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:56
so I was wondering how about that in Australia
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:56
I know one thing, say for example, in western countries, it's generally okay to address people by their name , irrespective of the rank/ seniority, especially for IT/ Software industries/ Corporates
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:54
@GregoryCurrie that's what
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:53
not "sir" / "madam" etc
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:53
however, once we get into the industry, it is taught to us, that you can (and you should) address everyone by their name
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:53
In my culture, addressing someone senior by name is a strictly no-no.
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:52
As you probably know
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:52
This comes off as strange to me as well
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:52
rather my own understanding
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:52
This is not exactly related with OP's question
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:51
OK, thanks
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:45
@GregoryCurrie again, not from my point of view, but yours. The approach you suggested is perfectly fine, but from your point of view, do you see a problem if the addressing is "Hi Bobby"? I was asking for your opinion, based on your point of view, given that you're in the situation (to address someone higher-up).
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:45
@GregoryCurrie it goes both ways, I believe. While I do not want to impose my cultural preference on others, it's expected the same would be reciprocated. IMO, addressing someone by their first name is not derogatory or humiliating - sure, someone may prefer to be addressed with a title and first/ last name, but that is a preference, not a requirement.
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:45
@GregoryCurrie I never mentioned anything about OP's situation, I asked for your opinion on my views. You don't agree or you do not understand that - fine. This specific approach about "You opinion on the matter doesn't matter" is not applicable in this case.
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:45
@GregoryCurrie , or maybe a "Dear Mr. Smith"? But frankly speaking, I do not see a problem with "Hello Alan" either. Do you?
Sourav Ghosh
Nov 9, 2021 08:45
I would start an e-mail with "Hi Bobby" to a very high level executive at our company how else you (one) should start? I'm interested!

many interviews contain a round where you have to submit a mockup project - not very common, but not unheard of either.

@Ertai87 I do, that's why I'm thinking, a plain "yes" might not be best answer for this, as there might be other readers of this Q&A.
Sourav Ghosh
Sep 2, 2020 13:15
@Ertai87 I don't think it's comparable to meeting, rather commute to workplace. YMMV.
Sourav Ghosh

@Ertai87 I don't think for contracts, technically "vacation" exists, it's for full-time employyes?
Sourav Ghosh
Sep 2, 2020 13:15
@Ertai87 And why is that? I can send email by EOD Monday, take off Tuesday and Wednesday, get back to laptop on Thursday and universe will be in order, right? Can still bill for 20 hours, and won't be blocked, per se. As TP mentioned, we can have a 5 minute billing for email checks, as needed.

Specifically with the Cap in place, it's just half the standard 40-hour schedule.

What is that you want to achieve? it seems to me a X-Y problem, and not specifically related to workplace.
