I personally find scheduled meetings really annoying. I'm just not a schedule kind of person. Imo you've done a good thing but I'd hate it. However, a small tweak would make me like it: schedule it in your calendar to ask me, then ask me when your see me online. It would feel adhoc to me and scheduled to you.

It's not like this is the only meeting on anyone's calendar. We all have various standups, ticket review, etc. meetings already. If we were a _no-meeting_ company (does that exist?) I would've gone about this differently.

Well yes, my company also has plenty of scheduled meetings. But I still don't want a scheduled 1:1 with my colleagues, and we do the adhoc meetings all the time. For all I know, they have a calendar entry "meet with jemmyw today" as long as I don't need to commit to a specific time with them it's all good.

Seems like a small thing, but if I see it coming up in the schedule then I don't want to do it.
