Who else gets trigged by people who spent 99% of their day with a Skype status of “busy” regardless of whether they are in meetings or one calls? 🙋‍♂️

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

Ok more along the lines of every time I think to send an IM they are “busy” different people, different times of the day

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

I don't pay them enough attention to be triggered by that

I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this and/or any video/picture tutorials? Otherwise, it looks like we’ll just have to add an additional open tab with a google share doc. Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
