How toxic is the work place that you can't block out time for Actually Working on your calendar?

It gets pretty crazy when you move into middle/upper management and your day gets consumed by meetings with teams waiting for you to make a decisive decision about some minor point of conflict.

It gets worse the more people end up under your hierarchy and delegation becomes a major priority. But then your life is consumed by synchronization meetings so you know what your delegates have been doing on your behalf and can answer for them/find connections and opportunities across delegates.

So you become a human kernel: scheduling, handling resources, resolving conflicts, starting processes, synchronizing.

Sadly, working on your calendar is non-capitalizable, so you are frowned upon for doing it on company time.

I think jldugger means you block out time on your calendar for `Actually Working'.
