Is it normal to not say hello or good morning to your colleagues when you come into the office? (lemmy.world)

I've been living here for a few years now and it strikes me as so bizarre not to acknowledge someone's presence as they come into the office. Is it the norm here? I am a Northerner so this could be a reason it is so jarring to me.

In all the places I've worked (currently working in corporate\office) we've always acknowledged each other. Weird not to. But some people are strangely reserved I guess or maybe won't say hi unless you instigate it?
