"A former marketing employee at Nvidia told Bloomberg News that she would often attend up to 10 meetings per day — each of them involving more than 30 people."

Ok, so it is not real work. Of course you can attend fake meetings for 16h per day, but you cannot focus on actual development for that long.

(Unless you work on a solo project that really interests you or have significant code ownership within the company.)
