I do busy for maybe a couple of hours at a time when I really need to hunker down and focus with minimal distractions

As if people even respect the “Busy.” Or maybe I’m just one of these people that use busy too long/often. 🤔

I never got how you can stay “away” so long. Mine goes to “Offline” after a while...

Away is the worst

Why is away the worst? It’s like the best one for really needing to hunker down and not feel bad about not responding

I keep my status as Away so people can’t tell when I stop moving the mouse or keyboard for five minutes because it’s no one’s business. And I have absolutely 0 regrets.

Hi Everyone! Between corona and snowstorms, “real life” is seeming as far off as anything else. Curious to hear what some people are doing to keep their employees engaged? Zoom happy hours are dead.. we did a few “virtual contests” (i.e., everyone submitted a pic of themselves dressed up for Halloween, allowing former years as entries, and made a slide show for voting the winner), but I’d like to go a little bigger. Suggestions??

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?
