Or, they might ask "is she in the meeting about QRZ at the moment?". Any events whose location or title is private should be marked as "Private", so that only other attendees can see the calendar details. | |

| Jun 4, 2019 at 20:17 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | @SouravGhosh Well, you might know a certain meeting could be bumped or cancelled in favor of your meeting. So knowing what the meetings are, when applicable, could be helpful. | |
| Jun 4, 2019 at 8:51 | comment | added | AdzzzUK | yes, of course. Outlook will display available time-slots when planning meetings. My point was I find the request to view subordinates calendars as being relatively commonplace in a business environment. My second point was merely to act as a "heads-up" for the OP in case they wanted to have certain stuff private. | |
| Jun 4, 2019 at 7:30 | comment | added | Sourav Ghosh | @AdzzzUK I would not disagree, but to find a free slot, you need not have access to open calendar anyways. Just knowing free/busy would be enough, which is the default access level in outlook, IIRC. | |

| Jun 4, 2019 at 7:20 | comment | added | AdzzzUK | I'd say it was commonplace rather than "not unheard of"! I always look at others calendars when trying to find slots for meetings etc. OP, any events which you set as 'Private' would be displayed only to you, anyone else looking at the calendar would just see "busy" or "private event" | |
