Offer to schedule the team’s meetings for your manager. Delegate scheduling of said meetings to a staff or intern and show them how to use scheduling assistant if needed.

Makes sense. Sorry mb, didn’t realize it was your manager and thought you were the higher up

Maybe just keep proposing a new time.

Yeah, the level of the sender/recipient is irrelevant here.

I have to assume that a manager would know this capability exists. As such, it is just unprofessional on his/her part.

I can guarantee you if the CEO of the firm overlapped my calendar, I wouldn’t mind. 😂

When declining the meeting, include a screenshot of the scheduling assistant, showing the full screen with which button to click to assess it. You can say: "According to the scheduling assistant, here are a few times that work for both of us. Please let me know which time slot suits you." Hopefully s/he will catch on

Oomph. Maybe mention to someone more senior to talk with him. Not a career benefit going forward

Decline and tell them to use scheduling assistant, so that they know in the future.
