My ADHD would make me want to kill myself if I had an 8 hour meeting twice a week.
I had a boss that did this quarterly meeting where he'd schedule two full days to review everything he heard piecemeal once a week and it always ended up taking 3 and a half days. It was hell and we all hated it. The whole office had to sit in it, no one got any work done, and most of us fell asleep. No decisions were ever made and it was just to give himself the feel goods about telling his boss he knew what was going on.
Horrible boss. The running theory in the office was that he hated his family and didn't want to go home
I have legitimately seen this happen. It's a very real possibility.
I had a boss who went home at lunch, without coming back until 6:30 the next day, because he was actually on holidays...
Poor family.
I don't even have ADHD, just strongly introverted, and my brain would just get fried in the first day of 8 hours of meetings.
I used to teach a class on a niche piece of the Linux kernel and how to do “stuff” and I had about 2 hours of content that I lead directly and then the rest of the day was me struggling to not fall asleep up front
To be fair, I never lead meetings anymore and struggling not to fall asleep is still a good portion of my job.
