In Brazilian corporate culture, uninterrupted meetings are often viewed as a sign of serious business discussions, particularly in São Paulo's finance sector. However, longer uninterrupted meetings are increasingly being challenged by modern workplace wellness practices favoring shorter, focused meetings with breaks. In the USA, this concept aligns with 'deep work' culture and time-blocking methodologies.
