"Meetings: "They often include at least one moron who inevitably gets his turn to waste everyone’s time with nonsense"." - Jason Fried

A great work ethic isn’t about working whenever you’re called upon. It’s about doing what you say you’re going to do, putting in a fair day’s work, respecting the work, respecting the customer, respecting coworkers, not wasting time, not creating unnecessary work for other people, and not being a bottleneck. Work ethic is about being a fundamentally good person

Forcing everyone into the office every day is an organizational SPoF.
