      Same if it’s during the time I specifically marked as “Busy” in calendar in advance. Outlook might be ass but at least it shows very clearly when you’re sending an invite to a blocked timeslot.

        I used to (when I worked somewhere that had these kinds of problems) keep my calendar public. It let everyone see what I was booked for and by whom.

        It was great. It generally resulted in project managers fighting amongst themselves for my time without involving me.

        Transparency is good!

        I even booked myself time slots for project1, project2, etc so that everyone knew what I was working on at the time… and who’s project was going blto suffer from an interruption.

        Weaponise transparency in shitty situations like these. It works.

          At my workplace it just shows busy/available/out of office for other people and it’s been working alright. Of course, that also requires that my coworkers and managers are decent people, which they usually are. I got pretty lucky, having a job in the middle of the Ukraine invasion that supports 100% WFH and with managers that give a fuck about team members.
