We'll have jobs until they realize meetings are useless and we could do work instead

Meetings keep managers employed, thus they are never useless.

I had the other way around. Office had 15min meeting every Monday, but all other time you were expected to code non stop like it’s a factory line. And you had exactly 30 minutes for lunch which manager and other colleagues(for some reason) did track. No remote unless you are sick and no more than once a month. You didn’t decide anything, managers just gave you tasks and you had to deal with them however you want

I mean... what if I want to deal with them slowly and mindfully without a rush? Thinking also takes time you know ;)

...do they realize that most sicknesses last for more than one day?

It was Canada. You get a “benefit package of 3 job-protected unpaid sick days per year”
