Is this an American thing? Here in Europe, it seems common. How else can you schedule meetings if you can't see when everybody's free?
- slumberlust 1y agoYou can see availability but not the content of the existing meetings.
- badpun 1y agoThat’s pretty standard in Europe too. It makes sense - what if the meetingd are about downsizing or outsourcing the team? The company and worker’s interested are often not alligned, so a layer of secrecy is warranted.
- collingreen 1y agoThe people who think this secrecy isn't warranted probably think their managers should treat them as equals and with respect enough to discuss those things relatively in the open. Its kind of a weird thing though - a meeting can just have who is in it and not a highly revealing title like "pick the 10% of your team for my RIF so I get my bonus".
- badpun 1y agoMeetings often have agendas in the invite as well. The agenda will be revealing.
