well, it _does_ happen that calendar entries are incorrect, so double-checking is not the most stupid idea a manager ever had.

Grumm18233y@tosensei Or that something as come up preventing fullstackclown from going on site.
The manager just doesn't want to wait if he knows the person is coming or not.
Happens a lot here. Schedules a meeting, time for meeting I go to the desk of the manager and [ ] he is not there. Next time I will call first instead of wasting my time. -
It sometimes happen that people rather ask something in person than checking digitally available info on the matter.

As some additional context, this isn't much of a 'one off' thing, it is a recurring event which is scheduled in to all our calendars

We find our hero, fullstackclownš¤”, again harrowed by idiotic management.
Our backdrop and set: A Google calendar appointment was booked between the managers and fullstackclown. fullstackclown had created an all-day appointment for today which reads: "fullstackclown on site".
With the scene set, let us begin our tale..........
Manager: Are you going to be on site today?
fullstackclownš¤”: Do you see the appointment I booked on our calendar stating that indeed I will be on site today?
Manager: ...
fullstackclownš¤”: you are an absolute idiot
Manager: ...
I literally don't know what to do anymore. I mean it's RIGHT THERE IN YOUR CALENDAR. HOW MUCH MORE CLEAR DO YOU WANT IT TO BE?! DO YOU WANT A TWILIO APP THAT SENDS YOU A PRERECORDED VOICE MESSAGE IN MY VOICE, CONFIRMING MY CALENDAR APPOINTMENTS?!
What type of mindset causes this type of behavior of double or triple checking things as simple as a calendar booking? Honestly shows a complete breakdown of normal mental functioning in my opinion.
