9/26/2023 0 Comments Slack away messageMy problem was never a problem in the first place, it seems. I disabled Jiggle and left my screen on again, untouched for an hour. It worked! Then it occurred to me that I hadn't actually seen the green dot not be there. I left my screen on, untouched with the Jiggle app active and, sure enough, the little green dot stayed there for a whole hour. In using away messages, a benefit may be, that when your co-worker sees the message, it’ll make them pause and ask themselves, Do I need this response from Sarah now replace Sarah with your name. This prompted me to download the 'Jiggle' app for Mac and do some testing. Benefits of using away messages I’ll admit, Slack makes it super easy to shoulder tap your co-worker if you need something. It often leaves your colleagues thinking you're unavailable or slacking off, when in actual fact you're just on the phone or you've had to step away for a bit (but you still want to be reachable and receive messages). Slack's policy of automatically switching you to 'away' when you don't interact with your machine for 10 minutes (or 30 minutes, depending on who you ask) has always irritated me.
