Unpopular opinion, looking at the other comments here:

Many people are taking an advantage of WFH. I see many in my team being away for long periods of time. I ping them and they reply back after 20-30 mins. That too from mobile. Bcoz it is often obvious when one types on (Teams) mobile vs desktop. They also join meetings via mobile with a lot of bg noise. Totally unprofessional.

Everyone is billed for 8 hrs, so why not be available from 9-5? With an exception of lunch + breaks 1 hr. Such people are cool with late night/ after hour meetings. And they are cool to be online or reachable at any time. But they are away during core working hours. These are same people who used to play TT and go on chai-sutta breaks during WFO days. And then stayed behind till 8-9 pm just to show how “hardworking” they are.

This kind of “flexibility” is something I don’t personally like. 1-2 days a week is fine. Special cases are fine, if someone has an emergency or personal work, a baby, etc. But this is a regular norm i see in my team. Not that the work doesn’t get finished. We have low work load, which requires 2-3 hrs max. But then don’t ping me after hours, or expect me to be available after hours, if you can’t overlap during work hours. Do whatever you want but be available for meetings and respond to pings on time, like a professional. I see that Indian work culture (service based companies experience) is all about jugaad with very little professionalism or honesty towards work.

I am not a manager btw. A developer. I also show away sometimes if i am watching a video or something. But i am always available for all meetings and respond immediately (1-2 min delay) to pings. From desktop. And i am offline and unreachable after hours with 0 exceptions.

Wait, how do you know if someone is typing from phone or laptop teams?

Tell that chutiya manager that even if you work on your system and teams screen is not open it will show away.

Just tried the status message thing and changed to never, but still it became away after leaving for few mins

Teams has this feature where person can get status change notification of others

Yep I have used that

Download move mouse. It will keep your desktop active

Ask ur manager any tasks done by me whose eta was not met

Tell him that you make the status away while working

Anyone else find it weird for their male boss to WhatsApp you asking about how you are (prior to your due date and prior to giving birth)? He has my private WhatsApp because he insisted and I stupidly in hindsight obliged. Just wish I knew how to politely get out of this. I figured I'd email HR like they told me once I gave birth and at some point email him as a courtesy :/ i live in Germany so am already on mat leave hence why he doesn't know yet if I've given birth.

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?
