Default Take hidden statements about team hierarchy from Outlook Scheduling Assistant Screen

Hi Forum,

I am not familiar with the finest ramifications of Outlook, so let me ask a somewhat untypical question to the experienced (company) users of Outlook.

I am currently browsing the Outlook scheduling wizard and see the list of participants of a very important and rather large, regular company meeting. It looks very similar to this:



In my case, the participant list to the left does not seem to be sorted alphabetically, or otherwise, systematically.

What (hidden) conclusions can be drawn (from experience, approximately) from the order of the participants listed there, regarding their implicit role or hierarchy in the meeting, or in the company...?

Or to put it more clearly, in an important company meeting that has been established for years, what could it mean if you were listed among the first (or last) five out of 50 participants?



And what is the subtle interpretation of being an "optional attendee" vs. a "required attendee"?

Thanks heaps already for any experience or advice from anyone who can read between the lines of company organigrams (...and bullshit bingo).

David

Default My theory is that Outlook orders

My theory is that Outlook orders the "All Attendees" in the order that the invitees are entered in the same way that the order of "To:" addresses on an email to many recipients is the order that they were entered or selected.


One company I know of considered it bad email etiquette to NOT sort the recipients in the "To" field by the recipients order of importance. is this ego? Is it micro-management gone amok?



I wonder if this firm has similar etiquette guidelines for Outlook meetings?
