The more you're required to be there, the higher the percentage of bullshit work, in my experience. If you have actual work, they won't care, as long as it gets done. If it's all bullshit, they need you to be there, because it's not about the work, at all.

meetings too even when wfm.

I reckon I put in 5hrs / week of absolutely completely pointless meetings when I don't speak, there are no outcomes for me, any outcomes don't affect me, but I'm worried if I ask not to go people will think I'm slacking off.

I just don't go and don't say anything. If they want me there, they'll ask for me specifically otherwise I'm busy doing real work. Requires management that isn't fucking stupid though.

In office: We will decide which meetings you attend. Pay attention to me, I'm important!

WFH: You will decide whether or not the meeting is even visible.
