He is offended by my way of greeting - advice needed by Maximum83: 2:03pm On Apr 07, 2016

Today at work during lunch break i didn't go for break, i was just doing some work on my Tecno boom j8 when our director came in tho am new there but at my former place of work that's how we do..
So my director came in and i greeted him the way I greet others i said hello but immediately he called me back and said i don't have respect that I should not try that next time
Please have i done anything wrong because am feeling bad.. But I still feel in the official setting no respect but is it wrong or right

Some boss likes attention and they wouldn't like a device as a Boom J8 steal some of it.

Apologize to him and be more respectful next time, since, its respect he needs.

From now on, embarrass him with greetings. Make sure you greet him infinitely. I'm sure after sometimes, he'll call you and tell you to stop greeting him.

@Op is it the TECNO J8 phone that caused it or you are naturally rude. Don't blame the phone. Next time you see your boss drop your phone and greet!!!

What you did was wrong according to the moral value system in nigeria, you ought to have said "good afternoon sir" not "hello" to him

Irrespective of your age once he is your boss it's assumed he is older than you. Such things can cause serious problems for you if you are dealing with a mean person.
