At least 5 hours per week. ~1 hour long standups each day in the middle of the day. Then ~monthly 1 on 1s for an hour.

Those "standups" sound like pure hell. How many people are on your team? You should be complaining regularly until the situation changes.

[ethanwillis]

Only 2 other devs and 1 sysadmin. I've only been in this job for a few months so it hasn't worn on me yet, but it is definitely starting to.

[icedchai]

At least your team is correctly sized, so there is some hope.

At a previous company, we had 12 people in a standup. It took about an hour. (I didn't stay there long.)

[danpalmer]

What do you do in a 1 hour long standup.

And please don't say "sit down".

[ethanwillis]

Unfortunately.. we sit down.

~1hr long "standups" are not standups
