i'll add that there you can avoid making people mad at you by communicating why you’re cancelling. you don't need to be mean, just explain that your contribution wont be valuable and the task your working on has higher priority etc. |

I didn't cancel, I declined meetings. There is a very important difference.

I usually gave a reason, but when there was a large invite list, or no notice, I did not.
The one time I "got into trouble" was when I gave a reason: "I am declining this meeting because there is no agenda." My manager told me to just have him intervene instead of declining the meeting.
