Comment on Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home
lud@lemm.ee 1 month agoIt should be noted that work location is a self report tool designed to make collaboration easier so colleagues can know where you are and potentially align their work from home schedules with yours.
We use a slack app for the same purpose, and it works great.

It’s not just a self reporting feature it seems. Our IT accidentally turned it on (as I understand) for a day by adding building info to one of the supervisors account. It then showed if you were in the same location (building) than your supervisor.

Do you mean it used the information from AD/Entra or was it tracking you?

I do not know if the setting is an Entra setting, I don’t have access. I’m just friendly with IT. This is what I believe they were talking about given their description. But not tracking, no. It’s basically a here/not here situation. You’re either tethered to local networking or not.
