Are hugs the new handshakes?

Hey guys, hope you're having a great weekend. Just wanted to share this Time Magazine article that asks whether hugs are becoming more common and even starting to replace the traditional handshake as acceptable office protocol.

Having worked in an office environment, I can say from experience that getting a hug from a co-worker you're not very well acquainted can make a pretty awkward moment so that's where I draw the line. Otherwise, I'm fine with this new wave of hugging. What do you guys think?

  1. I guess it depends on the office culture. Some are more informal than others and hugs may not seem like much of a big thing to them.
