That's all well and good, as long as people aren't expected to produce a month's worth of software from 40 hours of nothing but meetings. Unfortunately, they are. Largely due to inexperience and incompetence at the managerial level (zero technical chops once you go any level above IC). I'm well aware most software companies aren't like this, though. They'd go out of business, like this one will. Almost every key engineer (including CTO) has left this company already - six of them in the three months since I joined. One of them wrote a 10 page open letter to the CEO on the way out. Things are a real mess... Among other gems in that open letter was a link to this article [0].
