The meetings are good. You're getting paid during them. I managed to customise my bike, plan two international adventures, run a side business and do a year of a degree in pointless meetings in the last 5 years!

Yep. I have come to love Scrum for the dysfunction it provides as a remote employee. I can sit in the background and do other things while not being expected to achieve anything.
Eyes are watching. Your manager is likely to bring up that you're not an active enough participant in meetings; and yes, it will count against you in your performance reviews.
Manager isn't in the Scrum meetings most of the time. Self managing team and all...
Manager doesn't have to be in the meetings to become aware of problems you pose for the Scrum process. Multiple sets of eyes are watching.
Manage isn't in the meetings here because he's abusing the process too and slacking off fixing his outhouse and car.
