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?

ETA- This is my work calendar, not my personal calendar. I know that seems reasonable but it's being done as a petty micromanagement tactic. There are about 20 of us in my department who drive from school to school every day working with kids with physical disabilities. They don't just want to know when we're in meetings - they want every minute of our day to be accounted for - 8 to 830 school A, 840 to 11 school B, etc. I go to 14 schools. If my kid at school A is absent or if i get a call from school J that i need to stop by to fix a wheelchair, am I supposed to pull over and update my calendar so they can find me? I could spend an hour a day in parking lots editing my calendar. Most days i eat lunch in my car between schools. Last year they made a rule that we can't carry to-go cups because it looks like we have enough free time to drive thru Starbucks. It's just to be controlling.

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?

Just have a work calendar for your working hours, don't put anything personal on it.

Most calendar systems let you maintain multiple calendars, and share them independently, but you still get to see them all at once on your interface.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I only use outlook for meeting invites. For now I'm just making up a fake weekly schedule and copying it to each week.

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 7 points 23 hours ago

Just be overly nice…laced with some sarcasme. Being nice will get them infuriated because they want to be the asshole.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

I'll try, but i didn't think i can do it. Maybe I'll practice throwing out, "Bless your heart..."

"What a lovely meeting"
"What a lovely conversation"
"What a lovely idea"
"What a lovely thing to say"
"Terrific"
"It's always so nice to see you"

It works. Ask how they’re doing. Ask what they did last weekend. Compliment their clothing or whatever. Smile at them like you’re happy to see them. They don’t know what to do half the time and it’s hilarious.

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 5 points 23 hours ago

Comes with the years. My virtue is patience and malicious complience.

Have you ever thought of tracking your bowel movements?

Don't forget to note consistency and whether or not there's corn.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Be professional, use the Bristol Stool Chart.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I actually have that on the wall in a couple of my schools. I could take a pic and note my 'score'.

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 4 points 23 hours ago

A picture is good but a video really captures the consistency.

[-] monsterpiece42@reddthat.com 10 points 1 day ago

Period every couple of weeks.. lmao.

For every hour put "8am block" "9am block" etc and it will completely fill their calendar.

You could use a paper planner and refuse to use the calendar too.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

I like this. Just one little further tweak: every hour block should be a time zone conversion to a completely useless time.

For example the hour long block at 8:00am would be: 0:00-0:59 Ugandan time

For even more bonus points, account for Uganda not observing DST.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I love this!! Everything in my calendar is now going to occur in a different time zone !

[-] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 5 points 23 hours ago

This is great. And, i don't know if you can color code events in Outlook, but if you can... color code anarchy.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I use a separate calendar for real stuff. Just making up stuff to put in this one and copying it each week.

Your planned menu: all meals.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Including snacks. Notate all deviations, including free samples and "one grape from bunch".

[-] trd@feddit.nu 9 points 1 day ago

Throw in a abortion appointment in there from time to time, and maybe a STD full check up. Maybe a " retry to get gun license." And maybe once or twice a month put The unholy orgy on a weekend.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Many people have quit and sent letters to the school board on their way out. I'll include "Dinner with ___ (rotating list of people who have asked the board to fire her)."

You can't just write BD review. You have to tell us which toy you got and how much you enjoyed it?
