E.g. accidentally appearing offline, worrying your manager will see you offline, etc.
No, but also I feel like it depends on how long and how often it happens. Usually if i’m stepping away I change my status to brb it gives me peace of mind
Lol. Why?
I set it to always offline even when chatting! So no one knows when I’m online or offline
I use 'caffeine' extension. Wouldn't put the computer to sleep(unless you close the laptop). This way my slack is always 'active'
I usually just set myself away to limit distractions
I have set it to be always offline. If anyone wants me , can reach out and I’ll reply.
One of my workmates has lost promotion for this cycle just because they got feedbacks by the stakeholders that they didn't update the Slack Status properly during work 😒. Sounds weird right. But this is real. So, we do care about the Slack Status atleast for this sake.🥲
Play a 12 hour youtube video in the background. Your laptop won’t sleep, so you’re online for that 12 hours 🫠
Doesn’t work for teams
No one cares if I’m offline. We don’t even submit timesheets as my hours are deemed far less important than my efforts and results. With that stated, I do feel conspicuous when I am away long enough for slack to timeout. I just remind myself that is a personal hang up and when needed I am always accessible by text and phone.
Nope
