I've heard that - in some cases, at least - its about management being afraid they'll be deemed worthless when they can't walk from cube to cube to check on people as if they're cracking the whip. Which is silly, to be honest - there's a place and function for managers and they don't have to be breathing down your neck in person to fulfill those functions.

Good on you. I'm on an MBP for work and my company uses Teams... so it's even worse than on Windows. It sets me to Away if i spend too much time away from my main desktop and in a maximized screen/workspace. If anyone wants to come crying about it, I'll push my code up to git and they can look at the nothing they think I accomplished. Never been bugged about it so far, though, thankfully.

EDIT: I should add that I allow for plenty of time for video games or music production stuff or whatever. Sometimes, you just have to sit and ruminate on a solution without staring at it directly.

No, that’s “predestination.” You’re thinking of a medical condition one had before they signed up for an insurance policy and then got denied coverage for.
