Why do some people always keep “Away” as their status on Skype?! I don’t get it, sometimes people actually need to know if they can ping you

Because they think they’re more important than they and that their time is more valuable than it is

It allows me to decide if I actually want to talk with you, majority of time when someone pings me it's not to shoot the shit

So you can never tell if they are present or not

I don’t care if it says in a meeting or on a conference call, I’m messaging the person if I need to.

Don't ping, just email

Just switched to invisible

I ping them regardless. To me "away" means that I might or might not hear back from them right away. Even "busy" or " don't disturb" can't stop me from pinging then

I'm always on "appear offline" because nobody needs to write me via chat. My project team knows I am around and all the other people in the company can write an email or call.

I appear “offline”... those who know me, know I’m typically there and will reply. It dissuades only those with less urgent questions

Hate the away move, shows an inability to manage time.
