Sprints are essential to software development because they make underperformers much easier to fire. With long deadlines, a straggler can take their time and evade detection by management for months if not years, but with sprint commitments to which devs are held accountable on a consistent, fast cadence, stragglers can be easily found and eliminated.
Agile in the workplace is not for you, it's for management.

It just looks like a monthly meeting with your manager, where they say they're disappointed in what you have so far. Then weekly meetings, and then daily micromanagement. You can micromanage in any process.
