Working crazy should be (the very rare!) exception and not the norm.

Not only does it sound poorly managed, it also sounds like people are focusing patching over problems, treating the symptoms instead of the cause.

If you can identify root cause of why teams need so many meetings at unusual times and propose alternatives that mean you don't suffer, do it.

If your suggestions are ignored or worse, it's probably time to leave and find yourself a company that gives a damn about people.
