I think thats it.  1&#x2F;4 to 1&#x2F;2 my day is pointless meetings.  Some days its 100%.  Every company has those odd people who just go to meetings all day (or so it seems).  When they are not in a meeting they are sending slack&#x2F;email about past and future meetings.  I don&#x27;t understand the appeal of those jobs.  They are just black holes for productivity.<p>The only time I can concentrate for long periods (which is vital to programming) is if I stay late.  I get more work done from 6PM to 8PM than I do all day.  But then you have no life.<p>Even working from home is so much more productive.  Remote work is great if you can find high paying gigs.
