I am updating my status on Teams: I am in a meeting until eleven.
'Aggiorno' = ad-JOR-no. Three syllables; stress the second.
Use this to notify colleagues proactively about your availability. Updating your status reduces interruptions and helps remote teams coordinate without back-and-forth checking.
Proactively communicating status changes is essential remote work etiquette. 'Aggiornare lo stato' (to update the status) on platforms like Teams or Slack is the digital equivalent of putting a 'do not disturb' sign on your office door.
Sono in DND (non disturbare) fino alle dodici.
I am in DND (do not disturb) until twelve.
'DND' is used in Italian remote work vocabulary as an acronym
Ho messo lo stato 'Occupato' su Teams.
I have set my status to 'Busy' on Teams.
Specific status label; 'Occupato' is the Italian Teams status
Sono offline fino alle quattordici. Per urgenze, chiamatemi.
I am offline until two pm. For urgent matters, call me.
Sets clear offline period with an escalation path
Digital availability expectations in Italian companies vary enormously. Start-up culture expects fast responses; traditional companies may still default to email with slower turnaround. Understanding your company's communication culture is as important as learning the tools.
