Here's a useful little tip, if you want to appear online all the time (so e.g. Teams doesn't show you as away), there is a handy little add on called Caffeine which basically virtually pushes the F15 on your keyboard every minute. I know there is no physical F15 key but it works fine. Can be downloaded here works on Macs too.

That'll teach the jobsworths for monitoring people every second of the day!

I clashed a fair bit with my employer last year on this - they wanted me, as a manager, to make 3x video calls a day to each member of my team, essentially to ensure they were still online and working, which felt a complete waste of my time and theirs. You soon realise if someone is not at it, even when working from home, as the output suffers.
