It sounds like you just have poor leadership or poor PMs. Daily meetings should be 15 min with an extended optional “parking lot” to dig into things and everything else should be adhoc meetings with as few engineers as possible, except a weekly and monthly meetings. I’m a team lead (not manager) and I get over 50% if my time is builder time and I haven’t measured but I’d guess my teammates are around 80%.
