Why would someone respond with "Tentative" to an OOO calendar invite? This is a required procedure among our team and I'm often in meetings with this person. I verified the Outlook invite was "Show as Free". Wondering if this is some type of weird passive aggressive behavior.

You’re putting to much thought into this.

And to add to your question: could be weird passive aggressive behavior, but could also be clumsiness - you'd be surprised how many people are not capable of accurately clicking using a mouse or touchpad

Maybe they didn’t see that the invite was set to show as free. So they didn’t want that to block their calendar. I do the same or don’t respond as my team puts it on my calendar as a reminder.
