    Because you don’t message them generally if they’re away; so away and busy marking helps. The difference you’re describing for not needing to check if somebody is in the office, means you are the sort of person to just show up at somebody’s desk and yap. If not, this new feature gains you no ground, as you’d still need to check if they’re available. If so, you’re already quite unlikable in the workplace.

      Its funny seeing the responses on this website where everyone is twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify why its useless or so bad it shouldnt be implemented and elsewhere the response is cool that sounds useful

      I dont know what to tell you, people talk in offices, I’m sorry thats so upsetting to you. Human beings like to talk for work and for social reasons. You can disable the feature and cry when someone vists your cubicle but you can’t deny it will be useful.

        I can deny it will be useful to me. And I can do so without any disparaging comments. I am glad it will be useful for you.
