Calendar notification snooze in Big Sur?

We just installed Big Sur on our iMacs. Now when we get calendar notifications, we only have an option that says "snooze", with no option to select how long we want to snooze it for. This is really annoying and much less helpful than before, when we had multiple options (1 hour, 1 day, etc.). Are we just missing something here? Is there a way around this? (Note: we've tried clicking and holding "snooze", but no options come up when we do that.) Sure would love some help with this. Thanks.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.0

It is a headache but there is a way ... not all intuitive, though. On the notification, hover the cursor/arrow above the Options button. The date will change to a >. Click on the >. Snooze options will pop up.

That said ... one of the things that has kept me as a Mac user for 30+ years is the intuitive interface. I know Apple can do better with this feature.

It is absolutely unbelievable how ignorant and far removed from any usability Apple behaves here. Even after the upgrade to 11.6, nothing has changed. For people who WORK with Apple computers and don't just want to surf the net and play games, this is an absolute disaster! You didn't have to do anything, just let everything be the way it was. But under no circumstances should you have made things worse.


On top of that, the whole snooze function is badly built. When you move the mouse over a reminder, the option for Snooze is sometimes displayed, sometimes you have to move the mouse away and move it over again. A real patchwork! I've been using Apple computers for 30 years and this degradation beats everything!


If anyone knows a workaround or solution, please post!
