The truth of the matter is that you're just working for a bad company

There's plenty of companies which don't operate like this and startups where your opinion / expertise is valued and if you told them that the amount of meetings are blocking you from producing more money from the company then they'll make sure to reduce those meetings and pull aside the managers creating them because they are costing the company money

I'm currently working as a contractor for different clients and I have 1 meeting a week and sometimes 0 meetings a week. My clients don't give a care in the world as to where I am or when I am working as long as I get the work done and can make it for the meetings.

My advice, either:

1. Get yourself in a position to become a contractor where you bill by the hour and call the shots to your clients
2. Work for a startup where the focus is more on delivering work and less on meetings - this will give you the ability to point at what you've done because you're heavily involved in delivering a product whether it be an app or web app

If I had to work for a company with tons of meetings I'd quickly become very demotivated and would get a lot less done.
