おはようございます and お疲れ様です are still the most common choices. But the actual
pronunciation can be heavily slurred depending on the politeness level, and it
may sound to you almost like "おやざーっす", "おつかさーっす" or even "おわーっす". After all,
you say it every day, and everyone can understand what has been said.

おっす is usually used between close friends outside the office. It may be
acceptable depending on the atmosphere of your office, but you should not be
the first to start using this.
