Been doing them for a while - nowadays feel people have no recall of the principles and just go between tasks from left to right. Today I heard the most epic remark wherein a dev ops personnel just said “no blockers, just checking in!”. I found it to be hilariously honest - anyone else have any funny standup stories?

Tech Standups

Tech Standups- Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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’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?

Standups are meant to be short

Reporting time in office My team has Daily Scrums at 9:45am. And if you don’t reach the meeting room by 9:47, it gets marked on a leaderboard. If you cross more than 3 times in a month,pay fine 100rs for 4th, 200 for 5th…

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 ❤️

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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?

Ever Happened you take a day off from work  only to complete all your tasks and backlogs?

This is the third time this happened to me taking this friday off to complete my work. Everyday doing so many meetings didn't get any time to complete the work. I only got only an hour or two daily to complete my work. and then wondering what to tell in the standup tomorrow. 

Funny thing is I'm a junior developer with only 1 year exp :)

for more context: I don't work on weekends and after 7pm.

Taking a leave for work??

System, process, people or thoughts? What was the thing that made you go, shit I can't be here anymore!

Whats the most ridiculous thing you have seen in your office?

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

Do you take standups meetings in your team

Associate Product Manager

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.

My CEO is Micro Managing Engineers 😡

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