>> What do these people actually do? They go to meetings.
This is the biggest problem in industry: pointless meetings with no agenda and no action items. There is a watershed moment for anyone however. Once your calendar is even 40% filled (particularly if meetings are randomly distributed), flow state is pretty hard to achieve. Therefore one is better off to book even more meetings so everyone knows that you can't possibly do any actual work. Then your day is naturally completely void of meaning but you simply clock in at 9am and out at 4pm. Once the day ends you don't have to think about work at all since your work literally is meetings.
If you want to have a pointless meeting, be sure to book it in the evening or weekend so that you pay the same price as people that are actually doing real work.
