I created a Teams meeting for myself so I could have an hours peace at lunchtime. Just before lunch I was gutted to see a Teams alert pop up for a meeting for me to attend. Sat in it waiting for 10mins before I realised it was the meeting I'd set up for myself.

I was forced to do the same thing. The only way to stop people from scheduling meetings during my lunch hour is for me to actually block that time out with a fake meeting. It astonishes me that I had to go to this length just so I could take a moment to myself and eat something during my work day.

@Richboy50 @fesshole i have that meeting in my open calendar and called it "Lunch". So now I can call ppl names if they deliberately plan their meeting over it.

@fesshole 😂🤣😂 that’s a good one. Wouldn’t stop me from getting meetings booked. Frequently triple booked and “lunch hour” is a popular one. I’m a doctor, so I’ve instead extended my morning clinic into lunch and taken a half hour off of the end of my work day or the start of the day. Harder to have meetings if I’m off work.

I do something similar, setting a one hour meeting every noon titled "lunchtime" so I appear busy at that time. Setting expectations, so to speak

@fesshole I have a meeting like that, and it is just titled "Lunch". Almost everyone respects it

@fesshole

Assholes at my office didn't even check schedules for conflicts. I reject invitations without proposing new time.

@fesshole that trick is also great for when you're already in a meeting but you don't know why you're there and you'd rather not be.
