      i second that. but in phone calls from colleages i hate the “hey, got a moment?” too. i wouldn’t have answered otherwise, or i might have told you i would call you back in a few minutes within my first line?

      I set that as my status in Teams along with a little message “Please don’t just say hi. I might not see your follow up” and checked the box to make it show on chats. It’s definitely helped. Also got someone to complain that I was ignoring them, but they just said “hi” and nothing else so my boss sided with me that they were wasting my time without actually asking a question.
