Then you just say “no” to the meeting and don’t attend :)

  Exactly. Make your own schedule, or others will make it for you.

    The anecdote said that they did make their own schedule but then someone made it for them anyway.

      It sounds like they attempted to make their own schedule, but then acquiesced when faced with an inconsiderate ask.

  On the other hand, I may have way fewer meetings than many others that might get invited to the same meetings, so I understand it can be hard to find a time where everyone is available. I've only been to one company that had a sane meeting culture. Along with every meeting invitation there were attached documents that you were expected to read. You were expected to have notes and comments ready. The meetings mostly were not supposed to be a time where you worked vague things out.

    Not being able to meet in person we relaxed this rule to encourage more "shooting the shit" and team bonding time focusing more on vague stuff. Specifics are already easy to discuss async.
