How do you establish the level of formality in communication with colleagues: using 'you' or 'you' (formal)?

The level of formality in communication with colleagues is usually determined by corporate culture, context, and personal preferences. If the company prefers to use informal address ('you'), it is better to follow this rule to avoid creating distance.

If the culture is more formal or you are unsure, it is better to start with formal address ('you') and switch to informal ('you') after mutual agreement or if suggested by a colleague.

It is important to consider:

• Age and status of the colleague
• Formality of the company
• Personal preferences of the interlocutor

The main thing is respect and comfort in communication. For example, in technical teams, it is common to quickly switch to informal address ('you') to simplify communication.
