Damn these modern people, why would they look after things so irrelevant as “status, money and power” instead of taking pride in completing Jira tickets?

Agile with a pedantic scrum master is a particular kind of hell.

Not sure whether it would help, but if someone finds themselves in this kind of situation maybe try to find a way to discreetly suss out whether they are doing it because they've drunk the kool aid or as a "work to rule" strategy. It seems to me that many of the Agile methodologies, and Scrum in particular, are susceptible to that kind of approach.

If they're brown nosing, suck-up, sycophantic, yes men?

In that case, my condolences.

No, instead of taking pride in doing something they actually enjoy.
