'Jane has asked me to schedule a meeting for you, she/her and John'

[QuimReaper]

I'm recently in the unfamiliar position of scheduling meetings on behalf of my colleagues and keep stumbling over this one. Which is correct?

'Hi James,

Jane has asked me to get in touch to schedule a meeting for you, she and John next Thursday'

'Hi James,

Jane has asked me to get in touch to schedule a meeting for you, her and John next Thursday'

The second one sounds wrong, can anyone confirm?

[MadamBatty]

Jane has asked me to schedule a meeting with you & John.

[LimitIsUp]

MadamBatty's reply is spot on

[Mamette]

The second one is right, if a bit clunky.

Take away the rest of the sentence and it will make sense.

“a meeting for her” - yes, that’s fine.

“a meeting for she” - no.

[EarringsandLipstick]

Confirming MadamBetty's answer. The reason it sounds wrong is that you are adding extraneous info, not needed as it's implied already in the formation of the meeting request with Jane.

[WinterRobin]

The second is correct. Definitely not she.

[QuimReaper]

Thanks all!

Jane has asked me to schedule a meeting with you & John.

Doesn't this sound like Jane won't be attending?

I use this a lot when I am not sure what' right

[superram]

No, it would be ‘for’ you and John if Jane wasn’t attending, she is, so the meeting is with her.

[PegasusReturns]

The second of your two options is the closest to correct and is generally understood.

[AthenaMinerva]

No, because it says 'a meeting with'. If it said 'a meeting for you and John' you might think Jane wasn't coming.

[GreyhoundG1rl]

Jane is scheduling the meeting, of course it's implicit she'll be there.

[fourquenelles]

Dog on laptop ate my "s"!

[dementedpixie]

Definitely not she

@QuimReaper

Thanks all!

I’d assume Jane was going to be there.

[ExponentiallyDepleted]

The second is correct. You could always say "I have been asked to schedule a meeting for you, Jane and John next Thursday"

[RockingMyFiftiesNot]

The second is correct. You could always say "I have been asked to schedule a meeting for you, Jane and John next Thursday"

I was going to suggest this.

[PursuingProxemicExactitude]

"with her, for you and John."

[QuimReaper]

@ExponentiallyDepleted That's a great solution! Thanks.

[PursuingProxemicExactitude]

Really the best thing would be to take (Quim) out of the sentence.

"Jane has invited you and John to a meeting ..."

[Reallybadidea]

I'd say "Jane would like to schedule a meeting with you and John". I think the 'asked me' bit is surplus to requirement and makes the sentence longer than necessary.

Most people would probably use 'herself' somewhere along the line, which might be why it sounds wrong to use 'her'.

Thanks all!

Jane has asked me to schedule a meeting with you & John.

yes!
My manager's PA sometime emails me yo say "Jenny has asked me to schedule a meeting for you and Gus to catch up on X" and I wouldn't think Jenny was coming.

If Jenny was attending I'd expect an email saying "Hi, Jenny has asked me to schedule a meeting for her, you and Gus to catch up about X"

[StanfordPines]

Get them to schedule their own damn meeting and then it’s not a problem.

[totallybored]

Jane would like to arrange a meeting with you and John next Thursday.

[ekidmxcl]

Jane would like to meet with you and Tom and has asked me to schedule this

[PursuingProxemicExactitude]

If you say 'invite' it makes it clear that Jane will be there. So no need to tie the sentence in knots.

At least, this is what the zoom invitations I receive say. 'A is inviting you and B to a meeting on ...'.
