Comment on What's with the 'Thanks' people?

I started adding thanks to the end of my communications when my work said I wasn’t very nice in my interactions. They wanted me to ask how people are and say thanks have a good day and all the things that have nothing to do with the information I needed. I thought I was just being efficient yet others thought I was rude. I’m also on the spectrum so that may be the issue. Thanks

Being on the spectrum and navigating office politics can be a nightmare. I’m not sure why people want everything to be “nice.” Now I’m dealing with the opposite problem though. I need to set boundaries and be very opinionated. I’ve spent 10 years ish dialing it back and now I need to dial it back up.

I guess it's because people like the OP will scrutinize every word and associate some malicious intent to it.
