[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well you’re “online,” but you’re on DCUM. So there’s that.

A huge part of my work is writing. I deliberately stay off of email/Slack, etc., during focus time. [/quote]

Touché.

But I average 10 hour days and often get pulled into meetings late at night and weekends.

Seeing worker bees offline for significant chunks of the day is problematic. [/quote]

I look like I am online right now and I am out to lunch. Are you sure you know exactly what people are up to?

If you emailed a time sensitive request to someone and didn’t get a response in a timely manner and noticed they’d been offline since yesterday afternoon, what would you think?

Have you been online at all today? Presumably so. NBD. [/quote]

I get work email on my mobile so I look incredibly responsive while I grocery shop.

Point is, for most of what you are complaining about, you really can’t know iff someone is or isn’t working.

So let it go.

It’s terrific that you are responsive on your mobile.

Your boss and colleagues can still tell if you are offline and simply responding from your phone. Outlook will indicate you are offline. [/quote]

But what does it matter if they are responsive? [/quote]
