My rant:
Meetings are just simply soul sucking things regardless of being present in-person or zoom. At least when remote, I can standup and do some push ups, but when am in a room with many people and most often am just there to answer a random question now and then, it is very difficult because I tend to feel tired and fight might self from dozing off while also need to stay alert to pretend to be interested enough and respond if my feedback is required suddenly.
Face-to-face meeting are awesome if done in small group (2-4 people), anything large is mostly counter intuitive to me.
That being said, sometimes I appreciate why management and project owners/managers are paid bananas money, their daily routine is sitting through adult childrens’ quibbling and herding people towards common goals.
P.S. Not a manager, just plain pleb.

My boss would get furious and some of my colleagues supported her. But I didn't care. If they prefer on their fat asses and want to develop all kinds of physical problems, that's on them. There is nothing on my work contract that prevents me from doing exercise during meetings. Finally they gave up but it was a ridiculous fight. I'm happy this crap is over now and I can take care of my health during boring hours-long meetings.
