Best way to keep Slack status Online while AFK? Don’t want to get caught using a macro or something. I only work about half my workday, and ideally I could somehow keep my slack status online and go do other shit. I have Slack on my phone so I could still react when necessary. Has anyone done anything similar? TC: 415k #tech
Mouse jigglers are like $20 on Amazon
There’s free apps.
Mouse jiggler hardware can look like an actual mouse, software is hopefully going to get caught by security
PC: MoveMouse Mac: Jiggler
Any software seems risky
Play a course full screen on YouTube
Would this really keep Slack online?
I personally don't think it matters. You can always just have your desktop always on with slack open. Also I've had coworkers that intentionally just always set status as offline but will respond and are online.
Know a guy who does that, literally super annoying when I need something and he be doesn't answer cus his status is offline but he's really online lol
Maybe I should do the offline thing.
Just put a YouTube video on loop
Would that keep you online on Slack?
Yes
Isn't slack status green as long as the WS connection is intact in browser/desktop?
Open notepad, put a big ass book on the space bar, go to sleep
Or a bottle of Tres Commas on the delete key
^ lol this guy f*cks
wow that's some micromanagement shit right there.
If I’m afk on slack for 4 hours a day everyday I think most managers would notice. Wouldn’t you agree?
but why would you just go AFK. the least you can do is reply to messages when someone pings you. sure you won't be active but you'll still be available. if multiple projects of yours end up being delayed, then all the manager needs to do is PIP you and hope that you improve. if your performance and behavior are still the same, then next quarter bye bye! why I say this is that lost productivity isn't really the manager's problem, it's the employee's duty. and just because one person is clearly underperforming doesn't mean that a manager should change their behavior for all other employees. well most others could be honest, so why harm them and their well-being by being tight on their asses.
welcome to my world. I use a table fan where I loop around my mouse wire while it rotates. it's more random than a software
😂This is genius
