Ugh, similarly, in one of my previous jobs we had a guy that was underperforming (I don't know why, he seemed smart, but it wasn't working out). Every day the standup turned into like 10 minutes of management and management lacky's bullying the guy and treating him like a child. It must have been awful for him (one day he just quit with no notice), but it was incredibly uncomfortable for the rest of us too -- I definitely didn't want to start my day every day with a long conversation about how this guy wasn't getting his work done. I would honestly be more ok with standups if there was a bit more honesty about what it's for. If management just said "we need some visibility", I totally get that, I just hate how it's being marketed as if it's for my benefit. I've been a professional developer for about 15 years, so if you multiply it by 15*261 (workdays in a year approximately), then I've been to about 3915 standup meetings. I can't recall a single one where I thought "glad we did that, we might have missed something huge if we didn't have a standup"
