I have a job where I take a lot of escalations and have multiple IM's running pretty much constantly where people want/need answers "NOW." My ADHD means that that sometimes I have to go DND to be able to single focus on clients or other projects.
If I go into DND in Skype for business, it sends a notification to the person IM'ing me that I'm not available and they can go to a colleague for assistance.
If I go into DND on MS Teams, it's like it's a "suggestion." So, I'm both bothered like I need to answer, and (because nobody pays attention to statuses), I look like I'm ignoring them if I don't answer. Meaning they both A) think I'm a total jerk who isn't answering them and B) they get held up when they need an answer quickly, as it takes a few minutes to figure out I'm not answering them.
