Is the main reason people appear with constant “Away” status on Teams or Skype so no one can be sure if you’re actually there or not, so is there some other reason I’m missing?

Why use “away” when you can choose “in a meeting” all day and look like a busy model employee when you’re actually binging on midnight mass and squid game?

EY 2, I’m three episodes into Alice in Borderland and no way it’s better than Squid Game. I feel like Squid Game actually could happen, pooling together a pile of degenerate gamblers and thieves and thugs and having them battle it out. Alice in Borderland is just, bizarre. I get the games are also scary and dangerous but I just can’t past the fact that millions and millions of people just vanished out of thin air. I’m intrigued on the time aspect of different people arriving at different times maybe a time warp thing? I’ll keep watching but so far, Squid Game far outranks it…

People can set their availability to always be on for long periods too. I don’t see a problem with either method unless work is not getting done. It’s really just optics at that point.

If I ping you and you’re green but inactive an hour, I’m going to be irritated and tell you to change it

I just set mine as “busy” so people don’t message me unless it’s actually important

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
