Jira sucks
Jira is an awful product. It' got tons of feature bloat, it's slow as hell and it only serves to increase transparency (enable micromanagement) by PMs so they can justify their existence. Whenever it is clearly causing overhead and confusion it's always the devs fault, as if we can be blamed for years of failure to properly implement this boomer technology. It single-handedly makes me want to quit.
If a customer never uses a product properly, it's not the customer's fault. It means the product sucks.

Workday is hell
It's so misused. Just because a Jira feature exists doesn't mean we need to use it. Agile is about cutting all the BS work out of the process.
Why are you using JIRA when you should be using your Amazon version of tickets?

A joke I overheard last week was that it took 1 week and group of PMs and EMs to decide what the fuck an epic or story supposed to be
Find companies which use Linear and go work for them. It’s a strong signal that the team cares about productivity and management trusts engineers.
If you are spending a ton of time in Jira as an engineer, then some of your team practices need to change. I'm curious to learn how your team is using it.
That being said, I do agree it's bloated to all hell and lacks some basic features - why can't I have two asignees to one ticket?!

Unpopular opinion but I think it’s okay. You get your commit next to it. freedom to spam comments with nitty details, kanban based is ok. Dark theme should be there like linear. Linear is much smoother but I don’t really miss it.
Misuse of power probably in this case. It is actually helpful for me as a dev.
