I don't want to make an impact in any organization where experienced engineers are treated like children.
So Timmy, what did you do today? Ah, cool, make sure to raise your hand if you make a boo boo, and involve your little buddy Mike, okay? Mhm, thanks.
Hey guys, let's theorize how difficult it would be to make a tree house? Would it be 1 candy? 2 candy? 11 candies? No, that's too much, let's agree on 5, parents are eagerly waiting for the tree house to be built. Okay? Thanks. Well, 2 hours passed, time to tuck you in bed.
Hey children, this is Jake, he is a bit slow in the head. He can't read yet but I have decided to make him the one deciding what is most important in your reading curriculum. I also have decided to talk only with Jake and check only with him what is your reading progress. If you haven't read all the books in the curriculum by (deadline made up by the first number which comes to Jake, and he can count max to 3), it's your fault, not Jake's cause let's be honest, he is a tool and he can't read. But if you all read your books, Jake gets cake.
I believe all those methodologies were invented because manager types are terrified of depending on people who are different from them and who they don't understand. So they decided to embed one of their own business types (who also has 0 qualifications to judge whether the engineers are doing a good work) to make sure the engineers are not playing ping pong all day.
Yep, stand-ups and retros literally feel like presenting my homework and saying what I've "learned" today most of the time. I've found myself as the ic that must speak and present on behalf of the group and this is all too accurate.
