If I felt like my input would matter in the slightest I would bring all the stuff you guys mentioned up. I don't like the basic idea of scrum but what we have is such a horrible mutation of it that things are getting unbearable. At least I can usually tune out and work during the grooming/planning meetings.

You sound absolutely miserable to work with. Are you that guy who sits in the corner and grunts whenever anyone tries to talk to you?

If it's fake agile, it's easy to skip virtually everything because nobody's input matters anyways.

Line lengths should be between 80 chars and 115 chars, this way I can easily have 3 files side by side which is the truest path to enlightenment. This only seems to be challenging for Java developers who seem to hate the return key. The point of half this agile stuff is so that you can work together in your team to solve problems, this requires a little bit of communication. Round here, people seem to focus on doing the meetings and then ignoring each other outside of them, and it drives me crazy.

I much prefer my current team’s strategy of ending all the meetings early and talking to each other over email/hipchat or at someone’s desk. We don’t even usually go to time at standup. using Nonsensical.Extraneous.Overly.Verbose.Names.Is.a.Social.Construct.Of.Java.Developers.Not.Required.By.The.Language;

I think part of the issue is that we have three completely separate products with different purposes, languages, and clients all grouped together and almost all our work is individual and compartmentalized. e: I say three but if you consider each codebase a different product its more like 6 or 7 Pedestrian Xing fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Feb 5, 2018 |

There's a counter to the left of each line that tells you how long it should be. It makes all your code look like pizza slices

So tell your scrum master that they're wasting everyone's time by lumping completely unrelated teams into the same scrum meeting, and that it would be better to divide things up into separate scrum teams.

It's deeply ironic that this needs to be stated, since "people's needs are more important than those of any arbitrary process" is literally the first Agile bullet point.

Our ops guy keeps threatening to build a thing out of a raspberry pi that scans badges and counts how much money meetings cost the company. Sounds like our meetings are nowhere near as bad as some here.

It hits the google calendar API once a week. A few times a day it shows the total of the estimated cost of meetings for the week / month / year. It's the most passive aggressive thing I could think to write to not have too many meetings.
