To make an event that repeats on the last day of each month, we'll create a file that contains the event, and then import it into Google Calendar:
Paste the following text into a new .txt file (e.g. with notepad):
BEGIN:VCALENDAR

DTSTART:20160731
DTEND:20160731
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=SU,MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA;BYSETPOS=-1;WKST=SU
SUMMARY:Name of ...

Although Google Calendar doesn't allow you to create or modify arbitrary recurrence rules, the iCalendar specification which it uses and understands is quite robust in this regard.
Create an ICS file with a custom recurrence rule (RRULE). For example, for an all-day event on the first, third, and fifth Fridays of every month, starting 2 March 2012:
BEGIN:...

var toDate = new Date(2013,0,4,0,0,0);
var calendarName = 'My Calendar';
// delete from Jan 1 to end of Jan 4, 2013 (for month 0 = Jan, 1 = Feb...)

Google Calendar does not provide a way to merge the same event that appears in multiple calendars, and Google has been oblivious to requests to do so dating as far back as 2009 -
Sharing Calendars creates duplicate events - 2009-Jan, closed

Suggestion: hide 'duplicate' event on shared calendars - ...

So, you can create bookmarks that will take you directly to the calendar for a specific account, like so:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/?authuser=mypersonalaccount@gmail.com
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/?authuser=mycompanyaccount@example.com

This is likely because of he has explicitly denied sending notifications about events to him.
Ask the guest to make sure that they didn't turn off email notifications for new events. If they use Google Calendar, ask the guest to check their email notifications while on a computer.

UPDATE:
It's not possible.
The support page (also mentioned in my original answer) was updated, the option to go back to classic is no longer written there, so it's not an option.

I have had the same need for quite some time. And because I couldn't find anything suitable, I've built my own app.
It's called Calify. http://www.califyapp.com
The installer registers the app as the default program for handling *.ics files, so it works for both opening e-mail attachments and downloading event detail exports from webpages. It does not ...

"add to calendar some description tomorrow at 1PM"
then click on Create event.

So you can grab the embed code from the html link in the share settings and splice them together manually. I needed this and just now experimented and it works.
There are four parts to a public calendar link.
So they are all like this

embed type + "?"
"src=" + unique string/name
"&ctz=" + timezone string (optional)

I based my solution to this off of the code to add Gmail as a mailto: handler, and adapted using information taken from Google Chrome's preferences file:

To use it, just go to Google Calendar, open Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+...

If you are using Chrome, just right-click "Yes" (or No or Maybe), and choose 'open link in incognito window'. This is a way to let the sender know whether you are attending, without adding the event to your gmail Calendar.

Email body says:

Using the keyword "Location" instead of "Where" seems to work also.
In Google Calendar, this will populate the Subject, the body and the event time and the event location (The ...
