> Why is it more rude to call someone on teams where they can just decline the call than to swivel in your chair and start talking to them?

In the office, you can generally observe the state of your co-worker. Are they on a phone call? Are they already talking to someone in person?

A phone/Slack/Teams call can be quite disruptive if someone is already in a meeting.

We haven't fully adapted work culture to remote work.

Teams shows your status as on a call or presenting already. (Or is this a server specific setting?)

When I’m in a call I don’t get notifications of chats or phone calls.

If I need to focus I set my status to do not disturb and I don’t get notifications and calls go to voicemail.

So I do not share your observations.

I hate Microsoft Exchange/Outlook's calendar system (integrates with Skype for Business/Teams) for that.

A person can be scheduled in for an hour's long meeting but it actually only takes 10 minutes, but you check the person's status after the 10 minutes and it still says 'In a meeting' (usually differentiates with 'In a call' if they're actually in a call, but it's quite unreliable and you don't know if maybe they're having technical problems and are just about to reconnect).

With Teams you can set your status and ignore a message as well. I can't ignore someone who barges into my cubicle with a problem they feel is Sev 1.
