At home I'll say Hi when I come back from work and Bye when I leave for work...or just have a conversation without any greetings when leaving/arriving
At work, if I see someone close enough I say Hi. They usually reply with a "Good Morning" and only then do I say Good Morning back. Leaving work I'll "se ya" if I run into someone.
If someone doesn't initiate the greeting as I am passing by doesn't matter to me. If I greet and the other person doesn't - then they're probably really busy or didn't hear me - I still will rarely get offended.
