Couple years into job, and have meetings or discussions almost all day. How in the world do you senior folks get work done?!

A couple of my cousins work at big orgs. Most of the days, ~ half of their time is spent on meetings.

No neither in the wrong team nor in the wrong organisation. Just in a position of responsibility. That's why asking others, especially senior folks who have much more work, how do they get any of their tasks done.
