TheScarf Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 13 hours ago, D.A.F.C said: We got told last week that ‘someone has reported’ that we are all taking too long at lunch breaks. It’s always the same line. Management will walk past or notice someone doing something wrong and rather than dealing with that person we all get talked to like little kids. Some morons actually believe that someone is actually grassing up people even after the same scenario has played out over before. Someone has noticed phone usage. Someone has noticed internet browsing. The end result is that everyone is pissed off and slows down their work and distrusts each other. It’s a completely stupid way to deal with it and leads to a toxic atmosphere. Grow a pair of balls and deal with the one person or if it’s nobody be honest and tell us we need to work harder. I find that places where people act the most professional is where there’s hardly any supervision. Stripping away perks one by one and expecting people to work harder. Naw, just naw. The exact same thing happened last week in my office, but with dress code instead of timekeeping . We all know who dresses like a jake, take him aside and speak to him like the manager you're supposed to be, instead of sending out a blanket email like an utter fucking pussy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know either, so looked it up. According to Wikipedia: "Scrum is part of the Agile movement. Agile is a response to the failure of the dominant software development project management paradigms (including waterfall) and borrows many principles from lean manufacturing." So now you know. Or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Basically it's a way of managing software projects that tries to minimise the amount of time spent in meetings by instead.....having lots of *different* meetings. It can work as long as the client doesn't take the pish, which they invariably do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok a random meeting seems suspect but media handling policy’s pretty much all boil down to ‘talk to nae c**t and tell your boss if somebody turns up asking questions’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most this is a polo top / T-Shirt & Jeans with trainers or shoes. There is one guy who rocks up in jogger shorts and football tops almost everyday and it fucking annoys me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the guys who dismiss Agile problems by saying nonsense such as "You're just not using it properly". ^ This. We call them scrumdamentalists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
