Me too. Our receptionist is awesome and has no idea where we are. I wonder if receptionist is just trying to give callers true information...

That's what I think. ours is great, but I'm probably biased - I think she enjoys saying "sorry, they're out of the office, but I can transfer you to voicemail" and then quickly hitting the button

I mean if my status is busy or away or offline, doesn't that tell you whether I can take a phone call or not? Check my calendar to see if I'm in the office it takes 2 seconds......

Maybe start putting incredibly detailed away statuses ✍👀
