Out Of Office / Holiday Calendar
Tierra uses a shared calendar called "OOO / Holidays" to track:
- Team member time off
- Tierra office holiday closures
How to add the calendar to your view
- Open this share link to add it
- Ask someone from the leadership team or Growth Strategy team to share the calendar with your Tierra email, with permissions to "Make changes to events"
Use this calendar to check when teammates won't be working, and when Tierra is closed for holidays.
Account Managers: move client meetings
When team members are off — especially when key meetings would be affected — move meetings and inform clients as needed.
Adding your own time off
After your time off request is approved (via the Time Off Request Form):
- Add it to your personal calendar:
- Create an "Out of office" event for the date range
- Add a second event to the team Time Off calendar:
- Name:
{NAME} OOO— optionally add reason - Heads up: typing "OOO" in the name might auto-convert to an "Out of Office" event type — change it back to a standard event before saving
- Set "All day"
- Change the dropdown to the Time Off calendar and save
- Name:
For Account Managers: when key vendors are unavailable, please add their unavailability to this calendar so the full team is aware.
Tips & tricks
- Bookmark Google Calendar for one-click access
- Integrate Google Calendar with Slack — see meetings inline in Slack
- Allow others to modify an event (Loom) — useful for delegating meeting prep
- Add a secondary timezone in settings — useful for cross-timezone teams
