I didn't mind our daily standups at the last place. They were usually short (10-15) mins. It was all the bullshit and developer grovelling at the end of the sprint, and the lack of allocated time to actually plan future work, that was the problem. I saw people time and time again cutting corners to meet their imaginary deadlines. I'd get sent PR's to review after hours by people in different teams the day before scrum deadlines. It was insane.

The standups themselves were fine and actually I thought they were pretty helpful, especially during covid times.
