Managers/Boss: How do you conduct your standups?

I thought I was the only one frustrated with meetings until my colleagues also mentioned they were not able to get work done because most of the day was spent on meetings Plus our boss (CEO) loves talking, anyway the meetings are agenda-less. He stretches 30 min calls to 2 hours and then has the audacity to question the productivity. Cannot tell me this, he gets very touchy when feedback is negative for him. And then writes sarcastic messages. Also, who wants to take up fights with person who pays your salary What to do in this case? I'm tired of working 12 hours each day

Padhle likhe gawar hire kar lete h kya ji jira m likeh status update nai padh paate? Ek hi bakwas dicuss ho rai h roz din. Iske upar se 8 ghnata code bhi chaiye. What do program managers think of themselves ? Ye saare milke humko pagal bana rahe ., itne ga**d phati k ye.. I'm planning to say it outright to Manager, that if standups are going to run for 1.5 hrs then I will be commuting in this time. I dont get time for myself, if I just sit and listen nonsense that i can read.

I don't want to do it but how will you track work "productivity, efficiency"

I go through multiple posts every day. Every one is cursing their company. The bosses are bad. Managers suck. Company is fraud. Is it always the company, managers , bosses at fault. How can we create better work environment in Indian Startup’s.?

Just wanted to know why and how come our companies have horrible WLB and cultures compared to western counterparts. Is it the fault of the employees for accepting whatever and acting like sheep or is it just the mindset of the senior management to treat their subordinates the same horrible way they were treated as some sort of sick rite of passage ?

There are managers who are paid close to a Crore Rupees a year for doing this. Scene: Our team is working on it. We’ll get back to you. Reality: I have no idea about what the issue is. I’m completely dependent on my team. Scene: I have a hard stop now. Have to drop off. Reality: I don’t care about the ongoing meeting. My “passive” attendance in some other meeting is more important than the ongoing meeting. Scene: +team FYI Reality: Not my responsibility. Team must take a look. Scene: Do you have some bandwidth? Reality: If you say no, I will use this against you during appraisal. Scene: Feel free to give feedback about leadership. Your opinion is important for continuous improvement. Reality: Negative feedback should be worded with politically correct statements. Else be ready to face consequences. Scene: The leadership team expects so-and-so from you. Reality: I’m not capable of questioning the leadership team. I’m just passing the buck to you. Scene: Can you prepare a deck by this day? Reality: I want to show a rosy picture to my leaders. I will ‘use’ you to impress my leaders. Scene: Who wants to work on this item? Reality: I’ll judge employees who don’t volunteer. Scene: I want you to complete this (bullshit work) by this weekend at any cost. Reality: I want to save my ass in this job. Scene: Do you have any blockers? Reality: As if I’m capable of resolving them…lol Scene: Taking a day off. Reachable on mobile. Reality: Added the second statement to ‘show’ how important & flexible I am. I know you’ll not call me anyways. Scene: Manager presenting something. Do you have any questions? Reality: -silence- - - - Have you ever encountered Managers like these?
