Neither really feels right to me, but I'd say "Hey" is more familiar and "Hi" is more neutral/professional. I'm usually more likely to use "Hey" when addressing someone more junior than I would someone senior.
How about neither and simply start the email off with "John,"
Unless it's someone you respect or very superior, sometimes a "Mr. / Mrs. Xyz," will work, at least that's what I do with my mentors
As long as you don't start the email off with "Gents," you're fine.
I almost always use "Good Morning/Afternoon" or just their name though.
I agree that 'Gents' can look bad in a multi-gendered work group (not passing judgement, just calling politics as it is)
Good Morning/Afternoon can be awkward when working across time-zones where it can be morning for some and afternoon for others. In those situations I normally default to "Hi Team," which I view as sufficiently formal, while being disarming.
I do agree that if this is a one-on-one email, it is tough to go wrong with just a first name though.
I only use hey if it's for internal mails to someone I know.
Hi sounds more professional. Once i get to know someone I will use Hey.
Hi or Hey is informal. "Name," is used in most circumstances.
Except if you're pissed at someone (especially pissed senior at junior), you can write:
Hey -
This model you sent is a piece of shit. Fix it now.
Thanks -
Or the hitting on the intern:
Subject: hey
Content: heyy
say good morning or good afternoon you fucking inbred
wutitdooooo
optional: babyboo
"Name - teXT"
that's how my MD does it so it must be right
I use Hi occasionally. Usually I use just the name (but I like to mix it up sometimes).
Never Hey.
Does anyone else feel like just using "Name," feels really direct and unfriendly? Or is that just me?
It's just you.
How about WAZZAAAAP?
Only appropriate if you work for AB Inbev.
Aha thanks for that, Ill try to work there then!
