What amazing stories you have shared!. Glad you changed the job. Totally agree on Agile cultists. I am seeing similar decline here at work.
Obsession with hour tracking takes priority over any other thing. Things that one good engineer would do in 4-6 weeks on a single ticket is now broken into 100 little JIRA shitlets for 6 person months divided in to 5 developers. At the end of it no one really has clue what was really been achieved. But since 100 JIRA stories have been completed, it must be a great milestone.
