...and then I said to you "let's move the meeting forward by two hours", what time do you think the meeting will now occur?

If I scheduled a meeting with you for noon...
- Thread starter Pankratous
- Start date
If you moved it forward, that would mean that you'd want the meeting at 10AM.
Moving it back would be 2PM.
Why do I feel like I'm being asked to settle a debate here? lol

See, I would say "move forward" as in push it later in the day...
If it was meant to be earlier, I would expect "move up". But yes, I'd just wait for the Outlook invite to change. lol

Yeah, Its 10am now. Delaying to 2 would be 'lets push it back'
But I'd just ask for written confirmation, I'm that guy. You know how you get annoyed when someone walks into your office and you agree on something, then they email you 10 minutes later to confirm? That's me. Why?? Because I want it all in writing because you all suck and don't remember shit about verbal conversations.

'Bring' it forward would be clearer. Either way, forward means earlier I'd say.
Also sounds like someone missed a meeting.
Also the more I look at the word Bring the weirder it looks. Bring. Brrrring. BRING.

I would immediately ask you whether you mean earlier or later; "forward" is not 100% clear in this context. Don't hold it against anyone for misinterpreting.
1pm
My company's HQ and my boss lives in the Pacific time zone, and I am in the Mountain time zone.
Basically this. Outlook does the match for me and adds it to my calendar and gives me the time for the Mountain time zone.

I say 10am, but I kinda get where the confusion would come from.
I would also probably say "let's move the meeting up by two hours" if I wanted to move it from noon to 10am.

No meetings missed.
I saw this TikTok and a guy explains that people perceive time in two different ways and used this specific example.

I think you can watch this without an account. FWIW I'd say it means 10AM.

It's ambiguous, but I said 10am because "bring forward" is the logical opposite of "push back" which absolutely means later in the day
Events in the future get closer as time passes. That means that they are coming towards you. If they move forwards, they are closer to you. A meeting scheduled for 1200 that gets moved forward by two hours has a new time of 1000.
However, nobody should be saying things like that anyway. People don't always have the same understanding of relative timeframes, and that lack of common understanding can be exacerbated by different cultural or linguistic obstacles. Anyone wanting to set a new time should just state the time itself (and try to account for different timezones, where applicable).
Or just schedule in Outlook and let it handle all that.
