Are you kidding about tradesmen? Tradesmen do all of these things without much complaint.
If you worked as a plumber and expected never to have to turn up on site, never to attend a site meeting, never to have to give an estimate of time or cost, never to have your work measured and evaluated, never to have to justify yourself in a performance evaluation, etc. you would be laughed out of the room.
A better comparison is probably professional services jobs: mostly done in offices with computers by university-educated people these days, like programming. I can't say I have met any that think they shouldn't have to give estimates or have meetings.
yeah, you dont go to alot of meetings, nor are your estimates and timeframes very exact. also, all the stuff that you mockingly said is bad is bad. you say a better comparison for a programming job is a programming job? hmm ok
