> Is it "workplace surveillance" when you can view the calendar appointments of your coworkers
This doesn't have to be so black and white. I can "view" the calendar of my coworkers. That means - I see if the time slots are taken or not. I don't have to see what the actual meetings are.
I didn't realize that Zoom Rooms in our office displayed the name of the meeting on the door outside the room. One time I jokingly named my meeting "HOG THE ROOM" until my team made fun of me.
