As long as they pay me, they can "meet" me for any amount of time they wish. In the working hours range, of course.
I had a job once where they said “it’s OK that we have meetings all day because you have all night to finish your code”…
"It's okay that you pay me to code all night because you pay me to sleep through meetings all day."
My last job was at a company with 25 US employees and about 100 in India. It was understood that our job in the US was to be American faces who showed up at the client every day while the Indian employees did most of the actual code production. The problem was that our Indian employees were generally ghastly coders (a few were as good as anyone) so I had to do most of the real work as well.
Yes as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to zen out in meetings. Just act pleasant and answer questions if needed. Life is good
I've had this happen before, and it was terrible. It was with the most insufferable member of upper management. She basically started working while I was on the call and narrated her work as she went.
I would have loved to do anything else, sure I was getting paid but it was less enjoyable than my actual work
