Yo, I was hoping to chat about fizzing buzzes today. You in the office; wanna grab coffee? If you prefer you can call or we can just chat on slack? Anyway I thought it would be best if we foo’d the bars in that order on project A.
Easy. No naked ping. No pressure. Question already in the open. No expectations. Will find out if able to meet in person. Will get an initial response.
No shit that is what is already done every day. Its not meaningfully different from this change other than being slower. You give up nothing by the way there is no privacy argument to be had you’re using Microsoft teams in a work environment.
Why do we have a little dot next to the users name that way people can see if they’re online, offline, away or busy? You can just message them and ask.
Because you don’t message them generally if they’re away; so away and busy marking helps. The difference you’re describing for not needing to check if somebody is in the office, means you are the sort of person to just show up at somebody’s desk and yap. If not, this new feature gains you no ground, as you’d still need to check if they’re available. If so, you’re already quite unlikable in the workplace.
