It's amazing how much work you can get done between multiple jobs when you never actually have to do any of that meeting nonsense in what you do. All of my work with all of the people I work with is conducted over text chats and emails on a basis where we reply when we can, and everyone is happy with seeing a link or screenshot to click on to see the work I've been doing is going well. Everyone I work with is always travelling and often in radically different time zones, so coordinating a meeting MIGHT happen a couple of times a month. Why should I stress waking up early just to get right into the most eye-crossing soporific experience imaginable, or expecting the guy in Africa to stay up late? And also, what the hell is employee surveillance software? You couldn't pay me a million to install some creepy boss spyware on my computer.
