This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
So they are using the information they have in Azure/Entra about where you login from and presenting it to other users through Outlook/Teams?
Seems fine as long as they don't include your exact address.
Imagine having so few people at the office that the only way people know you're working remotely is your Outlook status
Oh boy, this sounds like it could get interesting! On one hand, it's great that Outlook is trying to make our work lives more transparent and efficient. Scheduling meetings has always been a bit of a juggling act, so knowing who's actually in the office could help a lot.
But yeah, I get the concern about privacy and the potential for some awkward moments. I think it's gonna be important for companies to use this feature responsibly and to have open conversations about expectations. Maybe this will even push more workplaces to formally recognize the value of flexible working arrangements instead of needing the classic "sneak" day at home.
On the bright side, at least we're not back in the days of buggy webcams and battling over the last working ethernet cable, right?
Not sure if sarcasm or apologist
This reads like a LinkedIn comment honestly
Scheduling meetings is easy. Don't do it. Send an email.
"But what about when..." No. Email over meetings. You're not special, your job isn't special, your company isn't special, your perceived needs aren't special. Send an email. If that isn't enough, send another email. If you get the urge to "give them a quick call", firmly grasp your phone and hurtle it out the highest window or rooftop you have access to. Then send another email.
You sound like you're really fun and easy to work with.
