To ignore certain Teams calls when WFH?

Does anyone do this?

I'm the middle of other work and/or perhaps don't particularly want to be put on the spot in a call so just ignore?

It's clear I'm available so they probably know too.

But why not just send an email?

If my status is set to Available, I answer, because I'm available.

If people call when my status is Busy, I won't, cos I'm like, busy!

Most people at my place tend to IM though really, so it's not much of an issue. But please- if my status is Busy, dont message with

'Hi XXXX'

'How are you today?'

I'm good, but BUSY. You want something from me so just get straight to the point, I really don't mind!!

Ah, yes. Everybody has that colleague who struggles with the art of the soft return.

I feel your pain.
