Agree with P1. If my team is offline/busy/away I could care less. But I expect phone calls to be answered, emails to be answered quickly, meetings to be attended, assigned work to be completed on time, and lots of pajama wearing and background noises like dogs/babies/TV so I know they are normal humans and not robots.

People attend meetings, walk away, etc. I would never use this as an actual signal to pay attention to.

This is completely useful information for my team. Some weeks I’m offline the entire week on my Deloitte machine. Others I’m offline all week on the client machine. Just depends on what the work calls for. My skype status and my teams Skype status means literally nothing.
