We also use teams. I'm green right now. There are times when I'm at my desk (here or in the office) where I show as 'away' (yellow). Note that I can also click on my picture and set that status to anything I want. I also have Teams on my phone so if I ever got worried, I could just show as available from any bathroom anywhere. Heck for all you all know, I could be posting this from some random bathroom right now!
I will say that I think that some people work better from home (or from the office) than others. At the same time, I suspect that people that are good at what they do have a high enough floor that even if they are less effective from home it doesn't matter. When we got sent home I felt I was more productive at work. Now that we are in a hybrid model, I'm really not sure anymore because when I'm in the office, the people I work with don't have to be there and often are not. It's really just a change of pace thing. Between the commute, having to chase down lunch, and not having the right people at work anyway, I suspect that I'm just as productive at home these days (even though I like being around people).
