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.

I've always said good morning to everyone when I've arrived, but then I always offer to make colleagues a cup of tea too, or ask them if they want anything when I go out - I can't see the point in not trying to make things just a bit better - but maybe I'm weird.
