    It’s a middle manager whose presence isn’t needed in daily stand-ups, as evidenced by the attempted micromanaging. We don’t invite those fuckers to stand-ups because they just talk about useless metrics the whole time.

      You could have just stopped at “who’s presence isn’t needed.”. If they’ve got time to worry about standup attendance, then it’s extremely likely that all the useful parts of their job will fit into a short python script, and the company can save some money.

      You seem to be contradicting yourself here. Yes, in most variations golf Agile, middle management should -‘not be in standups. This is the opposite of micromanaging

        being absent from the standup is not micromanagement. Getting annoyed while texting a single employee who didn’t hit metrics for one day very much is.
