A remote colleague is producing careful work, but their status often turns grey. Another person replies within seconds, stays visibly online and begins to look more committed even when their important tasks keep moving to tomorrow. The green dot quietly becomes a performance measure nobody agreed to use. Judge the work through promises, quality and communication that helps others plan. Agree on when someone must be reachable, then allow the rest of the day to contain concentration, customer conversations and life beyond the chat window. If a deadline is at risk, discuss it directly. Do not replace that conversation with surveillance disguised as intuition. Availability can support a team, but constant visibility is not the same as contribution. People should not need to manufacture signs of activity so their effort feels credible. Clear expectations create a fairer signal: what matters is not how continuously someone appears at their desk, but whether others can rely on the work and the commitments around it.
