I work in a public school district and i visit about a dozen different schools. Bosses are making us share our calendars, thinking they’ll be able to track us and catch us doing something wrong. I’m planning to add “started my period” every couple of weeks. Are there other good outlook tricks to fuck with them?
I don’t really follow your reasoning unless your bosses have already shown they’re malicious people. At work, my work calendar is shared with the entire company to see. I like it as it lets people easily schedule meetings with me, know at which of the two locations (or at home) I am. I have a personal calendar which I don’t link to my work calendar at all. I do think that accountability is an important part of healthy work relationships with managers because (with good managers) it comes with autonomy. Why do you think your bosses will use it maliciously?
They’re lying, shitty people who do petty things so they can pretend to be busy while ignoring any real issues. This isn’t sharing so they can see our meetings. They want us to write 8-930 school A. 945-11 school b, … to fill our whole day. That’s not how it works. I make a list of schools i need to get to and i fit those in between calls for random things that come up.
you sweet summer child. (or management plant)
Could you please explain what is naive in my reasoning?
You must work in a role where your input is valued and you have a degree of autonomy, your calendar is a collaboration tool to work with other people.
Most jobs aren’t like that, and bosses will use your calendar to micromanage you instead of supporting you
And not using the calendar means giving the boss carte blanche access to bother you any time.
After all, if you don’t have anything scheduled, you aren’t really busy, are you?
let me put it on my calendar.
