I’m a senior backend coder, and there’s nothing I love more than knowing what I need to do, knowing how to do it and a day with no meetings. Everything else is garbage that needs to be minimized if you want me to work at my maximum capacity, so I have to assume anyone who adds garbage wants something other than for me to be maximally efficient.

I’ve left two jobs in the last three years over RTO and the org I work for now has a PO box for mail and no physical office.
