> That's because indirectly you're suggesting to get rid of people as well. That could have certainly been the case in some cases (the overpaid British corporate Scrum master consultant). For the product owners, it could have been the "nobody gets fired for buying IBM": nobody gets reprimanded in a traditional, slow moving, German company for sticking to the same ol Scrum ceremonies. For some developers, they might have valued the meetings for the pointlessness of it: just say your internet is poor, turn off the camera, then do the dishes, take out the trash, jump in with a hot take to start another 20 discussion in the call, go on to working out, and preparing dinner. After I failed to make any change in the organization after a year of trying, I switched my modus operandi to the above described developer, and started looking for another job.
