Workplace etiquette

Name the problem. Set the expectation.

Technical issue statuses should make the constraint obvious, especially when calls, uploads, or response time are affected.

  1. 01

    Internet issues

    For unstable internet, teammates mainly need to know whether messages, calls, and uploads are affected. “Internet issues, slow replies” is usually enough.

  2. 02

    Power outages

    Power outages can change quickly. Use a status with an update window so people know you are not ignoring Slack and that the situation may change.

  3. 03

    Mobile-only work

    If you can answer messages but cannot do normal desktop work, say “mobile only.” It is more precise than simply saying you are unavailable.
