I have a similar experience to yours. My organization even hired a scrum expert who is probably just deadweight, he’s on mute in all our meetings for the past 6-8 months. It’s also true about having little actual work time, in my org we spend so much time in meetings that in the end 3-4 hours of actual work are left on a daily basis. I objected to this but was told everyone should learn everything, end of story. We’re supposed to be repleaceable cogs in a machinery and that goal was reached by now.

"everyone should learn everything" I've been in a couple places where I did know 'everything', or... near enough. The more I got to learn outside my own specific dept, the more cynical and frustrated I became (usually). You start to notice that entire groups of people are often just sitting around for days doing absolutely nothing because they're waiting for one person who's out for the week, etc. Or you learn that people just spent 4 months working on something that was rejected in a meeting 4 months earlier, but... the original team still wanted to do it anyway, and therefore couldn't help your group over the past 4 months.
