Rando Google Calendar Question

So I know some of you have business type jobs lives and all of us have busy schedules to manage, so I'm trying to get my work schedule on my Google Calendar synced with that app on my Android device. I managed to sync with my work's official google calendar, now here's the problem...when I go into my Google Calendar (either on my computer or phone), I get EVERYBODY in the office's schedule synced up to my phone. And that cluttered madness is exactly what I don't want.

Nothing is filtered, except some color coding by shift (but I don't always work the same shift). Is there anyway I can isolate just the events named "[my name]" and eliminate the others without erasing everyone else's schedule from the main calendar? I wouldn't mind manually removing all of the other events (it's a two week repeating rotation so I'd just need to eliminate those), but once again, that ends up deleting those events from the main calendar as well...grrrrr...

Basically, how do I change a synced calendar on my google account/mobile device WITHOUT changing it for everyone else? (or at least hide/isolate events with certain names) I just want to see my own schedule. Oh yeah, and if there is some change made to the main calendar...I need that to change on my personal calendar too. But I don't want to be able to change the main calendar myself.

You should be able to go into the Google Calendar app on your device and uncheck what stuff you don't want shown on your device.

On mine (nexus 5) there is an icon that is 3 stacked, horizontal lines, click that, and under your account name, it should have boxes (w/ color coding) for the different event sources. You can check/uncheck from there.

edit: I reread, and it sounds like all the info might be on one calendar? I don't think you can filter them out of the same calendar with a search while still showing other things. There is a search that will give you a list of events that match your search term though.
