[quote=Anonymous]Surprised at the dichotomy in this thread. I think if you verbally agreed to a meeting time and didn't get a promised invite, it's on you to follow up. Yes, it's the organizer's mistake to have excluded you from the invite, but I think it was a mistake of OP to assume -- after all the back-and-forth about scheduling -- that they just cancelled the meeting without telling you. Although I handle my own calendar, I follow the practice of the secretary PP, where I write "HOLD for ________" once something is scheduled and I'm expecting a calendar invite.

I do agree with the PP who said that calendar invites are becoming more and more common. Even as recently as 5-6 years ago for me in biglaw, it was sort of "exotic" to receive a calendar invite, and unheard of to receive an invite without a separate email chain first scheduling the meeting. The separate email chain is still the most common IME, but it's becoming more and more common that someone will just send a calendar invite and you're expected to use "propose new time" liberally.[/quote]
