Before you work in the Cincinnati office you need to ask yourself 2 questions:
1.
"Is it normal in a business for employees to conduct secret meetings and vote on whether they want an employee to stay or be fired?"
The answer is:
"No, it is not normal, standard, or considered healthy for employees to conduct secret meetings and vote on whether a coworker should be fired.
While businesses may occasionally solicit feedback from staff about team dynamics, formal or informal voting on employment status by peers is typically regarded as a sign of a toxic workplace and can create significant legal risks."
2,
"Is it an acceptable practice in a professional setting to say "good morning" to a group of co-workers rather than saying "good morning" to each one individually?"
The answer is:
"Yes, saying "good morning" to a group of co-workers is generally considered acceptable and professional, especially in a busy office environment. A general "Good morning everyone" or a friendly nod is a recognized, efficient way to acknowledge your team's presence without disruptive, individual conversations.
Efficiency: A general greeting acts as a polite social courtesy, acknowledging everyone while avoiding a TEDIOUS, time-consuming routine.
Alternative Socializing: If you prefer not to greet everyone individually, a collective "good morning" or a friendly non-verbal gesture (LIKE A SMILE or NOD) is efficient and polite.
Setting the Tone: Addressing the room helps foster a positive, polite atmosphere and ensures colleagues feel recognized rather than invisible.
Professionalism: While individual greetings can be warmer, addressing a group, especially upon entering a team area, is not generally seen as rude."
If your answer to question #1 was "Yes" and your answer to question #2 was "No", then congratulations, you are toxic and should definitely work for Advantech.
