I'm thinking about asking to sit (haha) in or call into a standup, next place I look at, after I have an offer but before I take it. If there's even a hint of this kind of toxic shit I'll know to run, fast. If the manager I'm talking to is like "well I guess we can arrange that, but they're usually under five minutes so there's not much to hear, and I'm not in them so I'll put you in touch with [team lead or maybe project manager] who runs them" then that'll tell me what I need to know without even bothering. I'm increasingly convinced that if you 1) have standups, and they're 2) more than the teensiest bit dysfunctional, you've probably got some badly fucked-up processes and attitudes in general. I mean it does not get simpler than a standup, so if you've decided to have them but can't get them mostly-right, then that's not a good sign. Sadly, this may describe most businesses.
