Yup, I hate that Microsoft chat programs no longer give you the option of showing available whenever signed in. Has to force it’s own system of timeouts and away. So people will start emailing me thinking I’m away when I’m just waiting for a ping. Ended up installing Caffeine and having it press Shift so that the system will recognize that I’m actually alive and available.

You didn’t need admin privileges to install that?
It was a long time ago, but I’m pretty sure I just put it in the windows Startup folder. It’s not installed as a service or anything.
There often are portable versions of programs that you don’t have to install.
I just tried. IT is one step ahead, the site is blocked 😂
Could do it on a personal computer and load it on USB? Idk, just thinking out loud right now
Fair enough, I’m glad you’re not being held to arbitrary metrics that show nothing about actual effort or work done.
It’s one of several reasons I’m still here despite being severely underpaid! 😂 😭
I get that, sometimes not being harassed is worth a pay cut.
Also unlimited PTO and WFH for anyone who wants to
For now.
