  I wonder why it is not acceptable in many companies to skip meetings as you see fit. I can do that at my workplace, with the possible exceptions of a 1:1 with my manager (30 minutes once a month) and the main team meeting (1-2 hours every other month, usually). And I still can skip those meetings just by telling my manager that I have something quite urgent to do and that I will come back to them later (in case of the 1:1) or read the meeting minutes (in case of the team meeting). On the other hand we have an "open office" layout here. But I am 99% working from home, so I am "skipping" that as well, mostly.
