If you have access to Youtube you can also just browse to one of those lo-fi streams and keep it going on mute in the background. As long as that browser tab is visible the computer won’t go to sleep.

The fear is that they installed software that tracks your activity level, not whether the screen turns off because your manager might walk by

I got this tip a few months ago in CSPAM (maybe from you idk) and Jfc it was a life saver for the three weeks that IT inexplicably set the auto-logout time to five minutes of inactivity

I think the idea is to keep teams from setting an afk status.

that’s kinda screwy though because I’ve actively used teams on my phone while my computer set it to away

Nothing much, watching the game, drinking a bud
Go to Teams Calander, and join a meeting with yourself, this will change your status to Busy. Then manually set your status to green. Teams will stay green (active or whatever) until you leave the meeting with yourself.

Or set your mouse on an upside down glass cup. The mouse is too far away for the optical thing to work, so it just keeps scanning, might work with keeping your mouse upside down too, not sure.

My last boss was a micromanager. He would just call you out of the blue on Teams multiple times per day and if you didn't immediately pick up he'd call your cell phone. He called me so many times when I was in the bathroom, holy poo poo.

I'm currently in a holding pattern where my "manager" keeps holding meetings to discuss one day per week to be in the office, while we say "....yeah sounds good 👍 " and nothing happens.

Luckily she is only my manager in a vague "operational" sense, and anyone I actually work with is in a different country and doesn't give two shits where I work from.

Probably not sustainable forever, but :regd08:

I just kinda started working from home (which was a exceptional circumstances only privilege!!!) more and more, for longer and longer, until management finally gave up trying to fight it and just let me do it as long as I loving wanted and made it officially okay. Helps that the one guy in management who was really against it and kept trying to get me fired instead got himself fired because it turns out he was actually not doing even the tiny amount of work he was supposed to be doing.

It's this. He was the helpdesk manager and wanted me to log into their call queue despite not being helpdesk just so he could track my 'personal' time. I worked at a call center about 10 years ago that only gave you 7 minutes per day for piss breaks so I had to drink water strategically.

The stupid thing is that I'm not even a slacker, I was basically doing his job on top of mine because he was too bogged down micromanaging everyone.

Whenever this happens, make a rough ballpark of number of participants times time spent times average salary. This will result in a Big Number, which you can then tell them they wasted. Remember to show your math and also to have a new job lined up.

I will try this first thing tomorrow and if it works you will be etched in my memory as a hero. loving Teams has recently started not delivering messages if you’re away. So you can’t just look over and see if the icon is blinking anymore. now you have to become available and then BAM a bunch of messages appear. gently caress Microsoft for catering to these awful control freak assholes.
