This is fair, though the reason we do it is to make sure the other person is okay enough to answer the question or talk about the thing first and if not we would want to help them out or take that into consideration.

Just asking the question feels rude or dismissive if they aren't doing well.

...so do both?

"Hi, coworker! How's your day? Anyway bossman is on me about the TPS reports, are those going to be done today?"

See? You were polite, checked in on them, AND got to the point all at once!

I'll think about it. Thank you so much for the suggestion though!
