i’ve worked in multiple organisations of over 100 000 employees with majority hybrid workers and this has never come up. can you explain what positives this information will give you?
To see if someone’s in office. Example you book a meeting and you check the event in outlook and it shows that everyone’s in office today so you can grab a meeting room and do it in person.
Someone raises a ticket for an issue thats easy to solve manually and you see theyre in tbe office so you go fix it.
Someone is looking for your coworker and you check teams and see hes working over at site B
How can you not see what positive info this would give? Have you never asked someone if they are in the office today, I would find that pretty hard to believe.
no i haven’t, because i have access to an asynchronous communication medium with which i can get the information i need from people in text form. when working in international teams every meeting is online anyway and tickets are usually resolved by either development or fixes to the online system. someone needing onsite help would constitute an emergency.
the only info i need from status lines is whether someone is on vacation or not.
If only you had access to a piece of communications software with which you could ask your coworkers if they’re in the office or not, and when they’re likely to be.

Maybe MS could make one of those that worked.
Are you trying to say that messaging a co worker to see if theyre in the office is quicker than checking their status?
You’re welcome to continue doing that but that sounds awful and I doubt you’ll do it once this rollsout.
So basically your team works very, very poorly.
No?
