Saying "Sir" or "M'am" is a Beta move. Alphas don't use that terminology.
IRL the folks against saying sir or ma’am tend to be more the beta type. Maybe not on here, but irl they are

When a subordinate responds with Okay, Mike or something along those lines that’s blatant disrespect

Sure thing, Mike

Is there any excuse to not respond to your superior/boss’ questions, etc with Yes Sir or No Sir?
We are like 2 years apart. Both under 35.

I prefer that my staff refer to me as Sire.

I'm currently at a Fortune 500 company, if I ever spoke to the CEO I'd probably address them as Mr/Mrs. But in terms of people I would report to on a daily basis. It was on a first name basis. Companies these days don't have strict military-like hierarchy.

Depends on the job. Where I work, it's very informal from front line staff all the way to the CEO. Everyone is on a first-name basis.

No Mike, you're an a-hole.

mam, sir, are good signs of respect for folks I do not know. I will also hold the door open young/old, or mam/sir if I am in a position to assist easily

I sir/maam pretty much everyone I interact with.
