So you're confusing a "stand up" in agile terms with a weekly 1:1. These aren't supposed to be the same meetings/topics.

The only reason I brought it up was because I was worried someone was trying to low key Agile me. If I'm getting it wrong that's a positive.

Those meetings should really be 30m unless your reports actually want them longer.

Yeah mine are scheduled for 30m every week with my eng manager, and most of the time we don't use up all of those 30mins unless I feel like chatting or poo poo's going down.

That's how they hook you.
A meeting here, a meeting there, telling people to keep it short and just focus on what's stopping them getting things done... next thing you know, you're waking up in a toilet stall caked in vomit with people calling you 'Scrum Master", and by then you're just plunging full-force into the abyss.

Covid is over so no one needs to wear a mask unless a customer asks you to.

My coworker was shocked I wouldn't give him a ride without a mask on. He insists masks don't work.

Even a cloth mask is better than no mask.

My job complained that I was out of work for too long (due to covid, and being stuck abroad), and therefore told me that I need to work 32.5 hours a week to make the bonus target.

Also Job: let's give him 32 hours per week, so we can get the most labor out of him, whilst also being able to deny him the bonus due to not reaching the required hours.

People in my company cannot seem to grasp "putting less than a 10 on "I like my job" on the survey means we all get smaller bonuses". Like if you're pissed and jumping ship yeah I get it but we have a lifer who keeps putting 8 because "everyone can improve" and I think when we return to office his coworkers might shiv him in the subway station alleyways.

It is, uh, profoundly loving stupid and all attempts to explain this is stupid and leads to a vicious feedback loop of "people rate the company poorly so bonuses go down so people rate the company poorly and leave" has been met with that face a dog makes when its trying to act like if it just thinks a little harder it will finally understand all the words you said

I'd say this has diminished my respect for Japan but without any evidence, I'm about 90% certain I could find a similar example in any English-speaking nation so I'm sticking with 'Managment is impossibly stupid'.

I don't think this is a Japan specific problem. To me a Japan specific problem is that it took months to get a computer for someone because I needed an exemption form to get an english layout keyboard to override the automatically put in place exemption form to get a japanese language keyboard to override the default english layout keyboard. An automatic exemption no one told me about so they kept rejecting my request because I wasn't attaching the exemption to that exemption to my request.

You might think that shouldn't take months once solvee, and you'd be right until you find out during covid while the office is shut down I had to mail a physical copy of the form to the office and then someone had to pick it up and approve the physical form and then pass it through a chain of physical deliveries when again, no one was supposed to be in office.

The financial beatings will continue until morale improves.

Unrelated: team lead position (that would have been very nice on a resume, as someone actively looking to leave and receiving next to zero acknowledgment and definitely 0 offers) was eliminated and 100% of its duties shifted to me, with none of the authority to actually make poo poo happen but retaining the responsibility for it going wrong. Great. I loving hate management.
Wish any of these applications would come back with a living wage. Only ones that reply to me want to pay low enough I can't swing rent, let alone anything else.
