Just wait until they figure out that they can email you calendar invites and that your email integration with your calendar will mostly likely automatically add their spam meetings to your already busy schedule.
It's infuriating.
Sometimes you end up thinking you're double booked randomly and have a momentary panic while figuring it out. Other times it prevents legitimate people from scheduling time with you because your calendar has a bunch of slots blocked off by spam meetings.
- jrm4 4y agoThis is why I've relatively stubbornly refused to use integrated email/calendar things. I know some can't avoid it in their workplace, but I've been able to even though other use it, and this strikes me as a healthy bit of "disruption."
- armchairhacker 4y agoOk, what’s even the point of a “spam meeting?” Are they just scheduling a random call so they can lecture you about their product for 30 minutes?
- weikju 4y agoIt's to have your eyeballs looking at their advertisement/spam. Your calendar events probably are set to notify you as well, so it gets extra attention from you.
- im_down_w_otp 4y agoI have no idea. I assume it's a bit of a "dog catches car" situation.
