The top one reason I want to retire so bad is because of useless meetings and calls. I had a boss for 6 months that would call me randomly during the day "just to check how things are going", I mean wtf.

But as I age, I see that there are people out there that NEED to talk and to speak to other people. And of course, you have those doing micromanagement.

> just to check how things are going

If you work remotely, a certain fraction of managers always carry a suspicion: he is probably slacking off right now, maybe napping; let me call and check.
