- Privacy/InfoSec
- Forgetting to change status
- Meaningless status states (Away was never really that accurate or meaningful)
- Extra messaging friction
I've found that it's usually just a few certain types that expect instant replies. It doesn't require too much time for them to get that I respond when I can. The same rules do apply to everyone, but I'll deliberately delay responses at times so as not to feed the expectation of the reply-needy. With email, I have set times to review and reply.
