Know why? Because I work with responsible adults. Once you start treating adults like little kids with no agency, you’re opening the floodgates for the control schemes which finally start to affect you personally.
What could your employer do that would overstep your personal boundaries? By handwaving this one away, you’re enabling them to cross your line later. You must see that, yes? It’s clear to everyone else.
You are not doing yourself any service, even if you think you’re just “sitting this one out.”
Im glad that people in your office are responsible enough to keep their teams status updated but many don’t and in a big company with majority hybrid workers this will be a useful feature and I look forward to it being enabled since im always in office.
Your comment is wild I have to ask what you think you’re fighting here? How does updating a teams status to display if you’re working in the office or at home over step boundaries and open the floodgates for big scary control schemes? If its a company device this changes nothing, if they want to track your location they wont be using this teams feature. if they want to micromanage you or spy on you they wont be using this teams feature.
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 one cares enough to update them thats the point but its still useful to be able to check at a glance if someone is wfh or not. I’m sorry this is such a challenging concept to you to grasp.
I have never once had an issue with this.

If you can’t see it, it’s either willful ignorance or a chasm too wide for me.
Best of luck, you’re going to need it
what moron cares about updated teams statuses? that sounds like such a painful office environment
