Many of the people at my work easily spend that time on calls once they get higher than lead engineer on the org chart… most days but not every single day, and definitely not on video.
I assumed that would be pretty standard for remote people managing at fortune 100s who would otherwise be meeting at each other’s desks or cafe in between scheduled meetings

I’d dearly love to know what job you do that has you in 6-8 hours of video calls a day! That seems beyond extreme!

Product management & as a general practice we tend to pair or mob for 60-80% of the day.
