> you need to be online all the time, and you need to answer / participate / chat instantly When I work from home, I explain to my colleagues that I mute slack and check it once in a while. If something is really critical, they call, otherwise they'll get an answer later. If I wouldn't communicate about this, people would expect me to be online, but I communicated about this, so they understand why I'm not.
