Not a great tip; as managers, we can see the activity of direct reports, and being in long meetings with no attendees is a dead giveaway.

An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!
ULPT Rules:
- Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
- Tips must provide some benefit to you.
- Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
- No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
- No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

Meh, our Teams has been so janky lately people could get away with it.
I leave mine on Appear Away most of the time. People in my work area know they can message me anytime. People who think I'm away will not expect an immediate reply.
I personally did that too - as long as you don't have a micromanage-y boss!
“Sorry boss, people keep nothing me for unimportant things so I set my status to “appear away” to make sure I can get my work done undisturbed!”
