Do Feds really not know we can see their Skype status that they have been away from their computer for 8 hrs on their telework day?

Do they care? Maybe a better question...

Indeed....I think PWC needs to spend less time looking at our status and more time doing my work I gave him.... This is the reason your firm sold it's Federal practice

They don't care

Instant messaging services like Skype do not mean “instant response". I set my status to Appear Away so I can get work done without constant interruptions. Instant messaging is often misused. If you need me now, call me. The conversation goes much faster. I don’t have time to text chat.

Sometimes I set my status as Away so people don’t bother me

Feds on skype?? News to me. Why be “Away” when you can just be “Offline”?
