If you never reject or accept meetings, a colleague can never know if a booked slot in your calendar is something you intend to attend or just something you don

If you never reject or accept meetings, a colleague can never know if a booked slot in your calendar is something you intend to attend or just something you don't care about but didn't reject. So your availability in your calendar is meaningless.
I have colleagues that permanently have their entire calendar booked, even if they attend only half of it. So either you send them an invitation regardless of their availability, call them to check, or leave them out of the loop entirely.
- Aeolun 6y agoWhy would you invite someone to a meeting if you don’t expect them to attend? At least that’s how it works in our company, so if you’re invited you are expected to attend (and be unavailable) unless you explicitly reject the meeting (which I don’t think anyone but me ever does).
- topkai22 6y agoThere are all sorts of “meetings” that are optional- largish seminars/brown bags/trainings, meetings sent to multiple members of a partner team with the expectation that only one representative attend, social events, etc. I’m not sure you are indicating that people or shouldn’t explicitly accept or decline invites, but I’m definitely in the “keep your calendar accurate” camp (although my orgs cultural expectation is that “tentative = free”)
