If only I could get my coworkers to see this. Sadly, they never will "get" it, since in my workplace, some people solely exist to schedule meetings.
I really need to get out of the cube.
- jrockway 16y agoHere's what I do -- I schedule fake meetings when I don't want to be bothered. People see the time as "occupied" and don't request meetings at that time. Lately, people I work with have become fans of the 5:30AM meeting. Perhaps they don't realize that I'm not in Singapore and, hence, am not at work at that time. Either way, I just beat them to it and schedule a meeting ("sleeping") at that time. Then they see it and pick some other more reasonable time.
- notyourwork 16y agoMy boss and I do this regularly. It makes it very simple to dictate early morning, late night meetings and leave a good gap for coding/working time during the day when we feel we want to do it. Usually we just schedule meetings with each other and if anyone asks either of us, we know we are busy.
