Well said. I'm currently in a "big tech" public company where I had today:
- 2 standups (One Slack-based, one Zoom)
- A sprint grooming session
- A project retrospective
- A product planning meeting
- A documentation review meeting
In the 3 or so hours I get to work per day (in like 30-45 minute chunks) are mostly spent dealing with updating Jira or asking product teams on clarification.
It's a total disaster.
