There's even some automations around leadership calendar meeting titles+invitees that I might or not have heard about. If leadership wants to play games people can play games back.
- Spooky23 3y agoIf the politics internally are nutty enough you can do alot with this sort of skullduggery… It only works if it’s secret or the folks are oblivious. I worked at a place where this sort of thing was done. It became practice to setup fake meetings or conduct real meetings with vague titles as a misdirection. The other scenario is if you let consultants inside the firewall. Big 5 guys always gather intel on org charts and goings on for more business. These guys aren’t very clever and are easy to manipulate with this sort of thing.

- Spooky23 3y agoYou’re negotiating with Cisco. “Terms discussion / Arista” with key players. You’re fighting with Big Consultant A. “Team Sync / Big Consultant B Principal” When competing for resources, we’d sometimes imply that fake skunk works projects exist. It depends on an environment toxic enough that people are spying on your calendar. Many big companies are.
- oblio 3y agoThat can be fixed by adjusting calendar meeting name visibility. They don't need to see what you're doing in detail.
- erhaetherth 3y agoVague titles are bad news 99% of the time. I say 99 not 100 because a certain VP in my org chart likes to schedule meetings called "News and updates" which is actually very innocent. Maybe he's playing the long con.
- resolutebat 3y agoThere's nothing worse than an unscheduled meeting with HR called "Sync" appearing in your calendar at short notice.
