To be honest normally I would comment without reading the article but I'm half way reading this and I feel like I have to ask this now before finishing it:

What type of job expects you to be on Zoom meetings for 7 hours a day but still do what sounds like a 40 hour / week job in addition to that after hours?

That stood out to me too - I think it's either a gross exaggeration to make a point ('way too much'), or they're trying to replicate office atmosphere (I don't mean to make that sound like a good idea...) by running it constantly.

It’s either that or they have trouble saying “no” to meetings.

Looking at their about page, they were a senior director of product management at a major company (GitHub/Microsoft). The number of meetings is not surprising for that role.
