On a related note, I just quit one of my contracts, but in this case a fellow developer was asked to become a SCRUM master a few months ago. The word "master" must have gotten to her head because that's what she thought she was. It turned into a micromanaging nightmare and she started trying to track my whereabouts and hours, even going so far as to tell me who I can and cannot talk to, as if she were a manager (but not even our CEO would treat me like that). I finally had to tell her she wasn't my manager and that we're equals. Well she didn't like that and told me "I'm the SCRUM master!" and that I don't understand the agile process. I had even talked to my actual manager about this the week before, who confirmed that yes, a SCRUM master is nobody's manager and cannot tell anyone one what to do. Things came to a head and now I'm outta there and all their objectives will now go red, all because someone who had some perceived power thought that they could skip years of training, experience, and wisdom, and go straight to "manager" (and a bad one at that).
