I have been using auto clicker to show active status on Teams... does my company have any way of tracking?

I can’t believe you don’t know this but... just have YouTube in the background & muted to keep your screen on & Teams active.

Ahh thank you 😂😂

Nah. Also you can just set to to green, get the app on your phone, or get a Bluetooth mouse and toss it in your pocket (if you’re nearby I guess haha)

I didn't think of this , but I've had a full screen 48 hours video play on tube and usually does the trick.

I don't care if I show offline on Teams. 🤷‍♀️

Seriously... when I don’t have anything to do, I just log off. You can email or call me anytime, I’m not going to pretend to be active.

If you are not working and you are collecting a check for working, how is this not stealing? I’ll just assume you meant that you want it to look like you are active because you are active but you want to show it. No they won’t notice unless they pull the chat logs and notice that you didn’t send any chats but were active all the time. Also they may notice if they send you a message and you take forever to respond.

hilarious, if we broke it down at every level everybody would be stealing...it's called a lance...

You should always assume that your employer has an inventory of apps installed on your work machine. Whether they choose to do anything about an auto clicker app is a different question.

Yes. But only if the look.

Ok I tried the “having a YouTube video playing on the active window” and my Teams still turned yellow. What else?

Try working, it’s 100% effective

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes.

How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
