I feel like a lot of those can count as causes for bore-out as well... 🤔

I kind of like it actually -- it's pretty homey, which is a surprise because my usual approach is to say "no one needs to know that stuff, come on!"

I think if there are user-specific toggles, that it great, but in any event, I dig the "we're here" vibe it gives.

Yeah that was a bonus feature I didn’t know we were getting. I like it though. Things seem super active when you see people in a thread. What does everyone else think of this?

How does it work if you're like me and have 27 different threads open at the same time? Showing me as "active" in all of them? Or only in the one that's actually on my screen at the moment?

CORRECT, and I think @Artemis Prime recently made a job move explicitly becuase of the Bore-out factor (lots of downtime, primarily, even though everything else seemed fine). Gallup's latest employee engagement survey (2023) showed that, among other things, "Clarity of expectations fell across demographic categories and job types," and I think this is a pretty telling factor for a year that saw active engagement go down and active disengagement go up. I haven't done a study or anything, but I wonder how often burnout first presents itself as active disengagement.

Okay, now I must know this.

Not becuase I'm king. Becuase it's my fatal flaw.

This is true, the office in general had a good atmosphere, but insufficient workload (which isn't on the chart, probably because that goes more to bore-out than burn-out), lack of growth opportunities, and low pay all contributed to me pursuing an opportunity in another department. Although in fairness, I will say the low pay is more in comparison to what most of the office was making, it was actually up to that point the highest paying job I'd ever had, which probably says more about my less-than-ideal career choices coming out of college than anything else.

@TimovieMan you currently show as active on this thread and your own, so it looks like I can also track how many tabs you have open, in addition to all my other stalker-data I'm compiling.

(Pinging @Heidi so she can satisfy her fatal flaw with the answer because I'm apparently an enabler as well as a stalker.)

Could still work with a time-out before it stops showing you as "active"... 😅

Can confirm that multiple tabs show @TimovieMan as active.  

Not sure what the timeout is, but I think I can set that aside -- my particular  Fatal Flaw doesn't require that level of in-time granularity (yet, dear goodness, please no).
