What are your thoughts on meetings scheduled during lunch time? Should it be off limits out of respect? Or if a meeting is schedule for this time, should lunch be provided (in-person and remote employees)?

Recently, I declined a meeting scheduled from 12-1, and suggested slot later in the day. The meeting owner wasn't pleased with my response. Should I have to block off this time to prevent it appearing as available on my calendar? Looking for some suggestions.

What is lunch time? As an adult I just eat when time is available. I’m not told I have to eat between 1230-1. Sometimes it’s at 1130. Sometimes it’s at 2pm. That’s called Time Management. Hope that helps.

I try my best to respect peoples’ time and not schedule meetings during 12-1, but sometimes it’s just unavoidable. Stuff comes up, people are in different time zones, and often times that’s the only available time slot that works if key stakeholders need to be included. I just eat before or after. If we’re doing in-person, let’s make it a lunch meeting. Get it catered if a large group or head out somewhere if small group.
