Just keep it as "away" consistently.

@EY4 it stays "away" when you're away, and once you come back it shows "busy" rather than "available"

You can change the timer so that Skype times out after 90minutes instead of 5 when it's idle.

Yea actually. Just download the app. Works decently.

Appear offline or away consistently for a while.

If you move any contacts into the "external contacts" folder, those contacts will not be able to see how much time you've been away/offline.

Why would you do that to yourself?

Then no one will question it when they see it. Fairly simple. Sorry for the two posts

I've tried to figure it out when I want to do stuff around the house when unassigned - don't think there's a way though :/

I think if you set it to Busy it will stay that way even if you're away. Can someone confirm?

Change the timer on skype from 5 min to the longest possible amount. Also update the settings on your laptop so it does not go to sleep, ever. Not even when you close it. Yeah I spent some time unassigned earlier this year..

My manager is a woman, and she is always commenting on how I look in front of everyone - and it just gets so weird. Ex: on Zoom calls with everyone, she’ll call attention to my outfit, or to my extensions, or to my make up when it REALLY ISNT THAT BAD! Plus we Zoom with all other guys so it’s like UGH stop making it weird. And it’s never a straight forward compliment - it’ll be like “Hey arent you cold in that shirt?” *attention is automatically on my shirt”.CONT.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Looking for advice on project management software or tools for HR consulting. Our firm doesn’t have anything that is standard or used at all, and while some of us are starting to venture into using Microsoft Teams, I feel like there are so many tools out there and we could be doing things way more efficiently. We work in small client teams (1-3 team members per client usually) and it’s a mix of strategy, tactical, and outsourced HR work. Any suggestions?
