I have to work at places that have staggered standups and meetings. 7am standup here, 10 am standup there. That kind of thing. I miss the occasional random meeting but I let people know.
I also underachieve in terms of moving up the corporate ladder. I've been asked to move into management for more money, and I always reject those types of promotions since it usually means more unavoidable meetings. Also, I don't bother working on difficult projects, I choose to work in roles where I have clear expertise and can complete work in 2-4 times the expected timeline.
