These are people whose entire job consists of sitting in meetings and firing off emails. They can't conceive that other people do work collaborating outside of a meeting room.

Not just collaborating. Any kind of work.

We plan 8 hours a day of work for developers, but they spend 4 hours in meetings, 2 hours fielding questions and just 2 actually working.

At my job its more like 10-12 hours a day, since you are counted on to do 6-8 hrs of programming despite all the other stuff.

To be fair, I've seen engineers with a similar role.
