OOO Status Tracking and ignoring Negligence tagging during ooo

[prashant67690]

Issue Description

The OOO (Out of Office) Status Tracking with Approval System feature aims to streamline the process of managing developers' OOO requests, integrate an approval system, and improve task progress tracking during OOO periods. The system also ensures fair treatment of developers on OOO by exempting them from negligence tagging while providing updates through Discord notifications.

Expected Behavior

• Developers can submit OOO requests that are reviewed and approved by authorized users (Super Users).
• Approved OOO requests trigger a notification in a designated Discord channel, including details such as:
  • Developer's name.
  • Start and end dates of the OOO period.
  • A tag indicating "OOO - Out of Office."
• Employees on OOO are exempt from negligence tagging for not updating task progress.
• Upon returning, employees must resume regular task updates.
• Super Users can reassign tasks if deadlines are at risk due to an employee's OOO status.

Current Behavior

• Inefficiencies in managing OOO requests, leading to confusion and unfair tagging as negligent.
• Employees on OOO may still be flagged for not updating tasks, causing unnecessary stress.
• Task reassignments are manual and lack of clarity during OOO periods.
