A meeting about it.
I was a software developer at that place, no managerial duties at all.

What is the average age of Lemmy… I’m curious now. It seems younger than Reddit
You are front desk?
Oh, lord no.
Google calendar at works gives statistics about the invitations and events. A normal work week for me is 35~40% meetings. I am in a management position in an international company with most of my teammates abroad in different countries.
I have a call to Kaiser to set up a specialist appointment that I’ve been “forgetting” for a week . . .
it’s a fucking automated system
Unironically, blocking off 2 days a week in advance so that I don’t get any calls scheduled and can work on my tasks in peace had helped a lot.
This would be great if my busy times were actually respected when scheduling meetings. They are not.
literally my schedule for today, except The Call happens at noon.
