We just had a talk from our master about how points are not days. Every developer ignored him and treated it as days because that was the signal. Management just made it official. Jira Align is rolled out and points are days. The master just threw up his hands and took his promotion under great duress.
Before that the master really tried to have meaningful retros. Now we type some things in a doc, everyone is silent, and the master has dropped any mention of follow up or takeaways.
...and this is a company with a good culture! I have done this dance at places where the culture was not good. As a person renowned in my circle for technical ability and productivity this was the only place where I couldn't get anything done and was removed from the account by the manager. Relief.
