If you work in an organization where everyone has their own company email address, chances are, you can see everyone’s schedule! Well, depending on that person’s privacy settings, you may only be able to see the times when they are free or busy. Or you might be able to see their meeting subject and location. Or occasionally, there will be a few people who openly let everyone read the entire content of the meeting invite.
So, here’s the mischievous part. The next time you set up a meeting with someone, especially if it’s someone who allows others to read the meeting subject but not the meeting content, give the subject a funny name and let the hilarity ensue.
To: person_with_friendly_relation@company.com
Subject: Discussion on hair loss prevention and wig recommendations
Location: Meeting Room C-5
Time: 10:00 AM to 10:30 AMMessage: As discussed in the XYZ meeting, booking your time to finalize the follow-up actions for ABC.
Or maybe:
To: person_with_not_so_friendly_relation@company.com
Subject: Office gossip on the recent furniture scandal
Location: Your office
Time: 10:00 AM to 10:10 AMMessage: Please find attached ABC report for review, I will bring the hardcopy for signature tomorrow.
Maybe send an invite titled “Proposal for bringing pets to work every Tuesday,” or “Tips for confronting your mid-life crisis,” or “Best shoe to throw as retaliation to snide remarks.” You get the idea.
Imagine looking at someone’s calendar trying to schedule a meeting only to find a few questionable meeting invite subjects. Ahh, must be a fun place to work.
