We're moving to a four-day work week at Beacon

My company does max 30 minute meetings. It's great and somehow everything still gets discussed. Occasionally we run a bit long but everyone knows you can only rely on people to be there for the first 30 minutes.

I'm in a Staff role with my fingers in multiple projects across several teams, and I still only have 2-3 hours of meetings a day.

Great practice. We're doing a similar thing and although these meetings sometimes run late, it's now culturally accepted that invitees just type "need to drop" and leave. When this is normalized, people learn to get to the point.

Only?? It's surprising you tolerate even that much.

Maybe you are not aware of what Staff Engineer roles tend to involve. There's lots of technical direction, scoping, working with other teams, etc.
