All this is great if you're working remote. At least you can be far away from a cubicle or even worse - an open office while doing all this nonsense.
I'm loving work from home. The ability to do whatever during dull meetings, work through lunch on something interesting because you had lunch during the all staff meeting
Have the radio on even
I can't count the number of coffees I've made during stand-up
My big company just did a full RTO mandate after 5 years full WFH since COVID started. It quickly swung from a good enjoyable job with plenty of work able to be done during all the bullshit meetings to an open office cubicle farm nightmare with harsh bright lights, tons of noise and distractions, and having to physically move from home to office and from desk to meeting room on different floors all the time eating up every last second of available time to do my ACTUAL job. And we are doing a bastardized version of Scrum and it's miserable.
I got reprimanded one day because in our daily standup I simply said that I had not made any progress on my tasks since yesterday because I was in meetings all day. Apparently that wasn't being a team player.
That sucks man.
