I contracted at a place where this was expected, but any 'meetings' you were just supposed to bill to the client/project as well. Some folks were on longterm/large projects - like... 15 people on one client project. 1hr meeting? It's just... billable time. I was stuck on support dealing with 6-8 different clients. I was supposed to split up time between the clients. 1 hr 'all hands' meeting for the company? Just charge each of those 6 clients 10 minutes each - even if you've not done anything on their project for the last 2 weeks (for example). So... I started getting push back from higher-ups asking why I was billing projects I wasn't working on. "I don't get paid unless I put billable hours in your system, and this is what your email said to do". "That's not what we meant..." "Well... what did you mean? Which of the 7 client projects I'm supporting should get billed for the 2 hr 'state of the company' meeting you made us attend last week?" "I'll get back to you..." Which they never did. I'm not there any longer. This was right before covid, and everything got turned upside down after that. I left soon after.
