One of the great things about being a remote worker is that you can often get large chunks of uninterrupted working time -- and you don't get pulled into as many meetings. But with the increasing use of videoconferencing, those halcyon days may be waning. Now you're invited to many more meetings, and you find that your production is slipping as you sit bored, restless and frustrated through meetings that you don't really need to attend or that drag on too long.
