Suggest them to keep it short.  
 But how?  
 Have it async. Automate slack message at a particular time, seeking updates. Let the team member share the current work status, mention blockers, if any. Post half an hour, get on a call, and discuss ONLY BLOCKERS mentioned in the update thread. It should not exceed 5-10 mins. And that’s how you save yours and your team’s time.

Our team (of 5) standups have not lasted longer than 15 mins. Shouldn’t get into details and waste someone else’s time

I thought this is quite common. Never seen textbook standup which ends quickly

Yes even I get irritated when standups go for long at my workplace

I’m part of one standup where they start discussing in details. I’m like why???  People trying here to flex here by doing in details   is this happening to you all?

My team has two standup daily, one at 11 and another at 2.30. And the most funny thing is sometime these standup runs for 1 hour and we even have lunch at  1. I mean really it seems messed up. By 12 we are free from standup, hardly get the work rhythm from 12 to 1 and then lunch and afyer that within 30 minutes there would be next standup.

2 standup within 3.5 hours

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.

What to do with daily 2hr standup? It eats my gym time.

Any blockers?  
 Yes, Daily Standup is my blocker.

I work in a small startup, we have 10 people in Frontend Team. 2 SDE-2, rest all SDE-1. 
I joined as Sde-1, when I joined them, we were 4(2 SDE-2 and 2 SDE-1).

At the time of joining, they had a messy codebase, nobody cared about writing good, optimized code etc. 

Whenever I got chance to work on old feature, I used to re-write entire code from scratch, made reusable functions, components and moved common functionalities there, all these made the UI better, platform stable. 
Worked on optimization and performance. These folks never cared about all these things. 

Also started peer reviewing everyone's PRs, explained them various design patterns and made them write re-usable components, optimized, bug-free code and other things.

Now I came to know, all these efforts of my mine never reached my manager to due manipulation by one of the SDE-2. 

My manager likes this guy and allowed him to handle the FE team. 
This guy has shown that he's the one who took all these initiative and he got all these things done by the team. 
He involved the other SDE-2 in this game. 

Fast forward 1 year, I see most of my code has been slightly modified by him, moved to new file and my actual file is deleted. 
He has done this in order to remove my GitHub history. 
I'm now getting frustrated and don't know how to handle this. 

Resigning is not an option and raising with manager won't help as he's slightly biased and won't believe me. 

Any help would be appreciated. 
TIA

Can missing standups even if u r constantly delivering items before deadline cause to be terminated?

How do you guys sophisticatedly explain to team and and your manager in standup that yesterday you did nothing ?

Hate standups

Ask GPT for the jargon related to the task 😆 
  
 “During the last 24 hours, I have been analyzing our user data and identifying patterns to inform our upcoming feature prioritization. Based on this analysis, I have compiled a list of potential improvements and recommendations for our product roadmap.” 
  
 “I completed extensive research and analysis on the task at hand, identifying potential roadblocks and brainstorming solutions to ensure efficient completion of the project.”

Hi, I am working in a early stage startup and our CEO has established the culture of transparency where he shares every update regarding company funding, customer sales, revenue and answers all questions within company but one thing that has been bugging me is his micromanaging. 


He has integrated a bot in slack which ask for what did you do yesterday ? and what are you going to do today ? , Everyday


He also managed a spreadsheet of our tasks and takes the exact estimate in days makes a calendar view there and keeps asking up to update on our tasks progress in multiple meetings or on chat. 


I didn't had such experience in prior companies but he mentioned, such things were being followed in NyKa, DineOut, etc as well 

Does the well known companies like Phonepe, Uber, Zomato, google, amazon, Microsoft, De shaw, sprinklr follow this as well ? 

I just wanna check, is he doing too much or it this a standard in Indian companies ? 

Thanks to all whoever reply to this post, please share your current & past experience.

Sounds like a daily standup update just in written format. 
 Or am I missing something?

I'm tired of this Indian management style of listing all things that are WRONG, the very first thing in the morning

"None of you do this"
"This is not happening"
"Why are you <take names> not doing <something outside JD>?"

Is nothing working? Is the company going down?
Are employees doing nothing right?!

If you as manager/boss do not do this, please know there is a special place reserved in heaven for you ❤️
