I’ve been in a habit of adding my personal email address to meeting invites that the agency I’m freelancing with invites me to that are internal (don’t include clients) in addition to the company email address they give me. Is this a bad look in any way or would it annoy them?

It’s only to help ensure I don’t miss any meetings/make the double calendar mgmt simpler. I was considering asking them if it was ok but that prob draws more attention than needed. Lmk what yall think

It depends what sort of agency… my vibe is: good agencies won’t care. Crap agencies will care because you’re not following protocol.

I do this all the time, haven’t had anyone complain. If they bring it up I just say the same thing as you, it’s so I make sure I don’t miss meetings since my personal calendar is synced with all my devices.

Totally. If it were hassle free or a super long term assignment that would be one thing, but it seems like holding company IT depts want access to your phone / want you install a bunch of extra shit for “security protocols”. Uhh yeah no fucking thanks lol

You could just add it to your personal calendar if you’re worried. Takes about as much joules as adding your personal email.

That.. is a great point
