The final straw for me was an outsourced dev asking me about time estimates for an agile project that other developers had estimated for.

"How much time will this take?" (Very demanding Asian boss in Australia Post)

"No idea, might be quick, might be complex, I don't know your environment."

"Well, developers have said 8 points. How much time is that??"

"I don't know".

His response: "Stay behind after the meeting, I need to talk to you about respect for authority".

Fun times.

ah good ole corporate agile, never change.

Oh I have to get this off my chest. So many companies saying "Yes, we're sort of agile, but we have a fairly bureaucratic structure that is unamenable to change".

If you're not agile, stop lying about it. I saw a job on Seek the other day advertising a DevOps roles - turns out they want a helpdesk operator. Stop lying in job ads, and stop drinking the kool aid.

None of it helps.

to be fair, corporate lying to appear nicer doesn't surprise me much, but developers that propagate the workplace bullshit really hurt me deeply.
