Sometimes I get on a conference call with myself so that Skype says "in a conference call" and I can get stuff done but stay online

Think changing that status gives you 'busy.' The conf call says 'In a conf call.' Clearly superior

Aie Caramba! If such monitoring and evasive maneuvers exist as reported here, consulting has been reduced to just another miserable job.

But if you're inactive it'll reflect that. Being on. Call does not show inactivity

Or just open a YouTube playlist on repeat and it'll stay green. 👹

Forgive the ignorance. But is someone checking to see what % of the time you're active on your computer? What about thinking / reading / whiteboarding / brainstorming time?

D1 unfortunately there r some managers/SM who do. Have to cover our bases in that case.

Seems very odd. If consultants are producing great work and performing well tracking laptop activity seems bizarre.
