This is why companies need to be "results driven" vs "face-time driven". "What did you deliver this week? This month? This quarter?", should be the only relevant question in the workplace, managers included.
Absolutely. How can a society flourish when people are spending all their time for someone else? Full time work leaves little time for your health, family, friends, pets, and so on.
Also by working for someone else, you make money, which you use for your health, family, etc.
So either way, I don't get the point.

This would become far less efficient if we didn't all keep mostly the same hours.
As if this industry needed any more excuses for it's blatant ageism.
Stretching 2 hours of work into an 8-9 hour day through meetings and sneaky Reddit/hn usage is certainly bad for our brains. But this is the norm as long as managers interpret productivity as butts in seats.

A non-trivial part of my job is ansering questions that co-workers run into while trying to do their jobs. This would become far less efficient if we didn't all keep mostly the same hours.
Maybe you should look into technologies like email that allows people to send messages that can be responded to when the person has the time.

Face-to-face time is invaluable to me, but almost exclusively for brainstorming/working through difficult problems. But this can be a small minority of the week, and can happen opportunistically (when someone is available).
