Someone’s got too much time on their hands.
Nope, couldn’t care less what my coworkers are doing as long as it doesn’t effect me or my project. Nobody likes a micromanager, send them an email invite if you want their undivided time.
OP is 100% the person that says it’s all good and they got it all under control and then impromptu messages you at 7pm the night before shit blows up because they haven’t done anything all day except track their coworkers Skype statuses and expects you to drop everything you’re doing to save their ass.

I literally dont notice anyone else's status nor give a crap, you sound like a busy body
Pro
How do you even have time to track this??
C1, just keep scrolling next time
Sounds like you are stalking your co-workers which would irritate me 🧐
Ok more along the lines of every time I think to send an IM they are “busy” different people, different times of the day

OP getting wrecked. Dude or dudette just ask for what you need in a reasonable manner and don’t worry about skype statuses
I appreciate you!

I am one of those people. It keeps time wasters away and some other people triggered. Wholesome, productive, and fun.
My motto: if it’s not worth the effort of typing up in an email, then it’s not worth the effort of me taking the time to research, think things over and respond.
If they are busy would you rather they show as available and not respond?
FC1, I am not using it to hide from people. I am rarely set to busy. Have been told on more than one occasion “I just set myself to busy so no one asks for anything”

Why do you even care? Just ping them.

My Skype status is always Busy - I find the ping sound annoying and distracting and the busy status minimizes notifications.
Ping them anyway. They will see it whether they are busy or available
Rising Star
I don't pay them enough attention to be triggered by that
