At what level do you stop caring about your teams status showing green as long as you get the job done? Is team status something that’s usually monitored at big 4 or mm

It’s more about being responsive during business hours than what the status actually shows.

Yeah I got message from my boss after lunch that I need to log off teams when I go to lunch or message the group (we had a teams group chat) that I will be out for lunch. If my status went yellow he would ask if I were away and why, apparently I was away if it were yellow lol. He also messaged me 5 mins before I started working (we discussed start time every day) and asked if I was going to be online at the start time we agreed to.

I only care if I don't get a timely response. Half the time the color is wrong anyway.

When I’m green people think that means I’m not busy. I try to keep it from going green too much because then I get swarmed by people needing things and can’t get anything done.

Do you keep it busy usually?

When is the best time to leave and go to another big4? I am at PwC and I knew the reputation they had and Some people said It may not be for me because of it. Ive been here a year and I feel as there right. My busy season is starting and I want to leave (not just because of my team) but as some of you may know getting along with the people you work with is a big part of wanting to stay at your job. I want to try to quit end of December and hoping to start a new position February.
