First, there was major miscommunication on the part of the new management [1] and who I thought was my manager wasn't [2]. Second, I was raising the alarm that the "agile and scrum" methods weren't working, and got it raised to a VP of the company [3]. He was let go. Did I cause him to be fired? I don't know. All I know, the new VP just said "that's a shame" when I brought up my points. I knew then, it was time to go. [1] The silliness didn't start until new management took over. [2] The term "team lead" meant "manager". I didn't get the memo. [3] I was regularly talking to him at least once a week. He didn't want me to leave the company and to give him time.

It sounds more to me like you could have just asked for meetings to end on time and quoted why they are meant to be held standing up.

  No, it was more like before they pushed "Enterprise Agile with a side of scrum", the team I was on, for 10 years, produced code on time, with very few bugs and only two regressions to production (caught during deployment). Afterwards (bought out, new management), we kept missing our deadlines, bugs proliferated, and deployments became nightmares. The meetings were the least of the issues, but they weren't helping any.
