My boss likes to remind me I am showing as offline on slack, I turn it back on 5min and then back off
My Slack used to bug out or something and show me as away or offline constantly. My boss would call me and accuse me of slacking off when I was actually too hyper-focused on my work to notice
Sounds like a horrible boss.
For real: my boss has one policy, as long as the job gets done I don’t care. I’ll start caring as soon as the job’s not getting done.
This means I can work on my own schedule and if I keep delivering nobody asks me a question!
That’s how it should be. You’re paid to do work, not to look busy.
