Me: *Looks at calendar* Oh boy! A meeting free day - I can finally get X done!

Boss (after stand up): Are people up to do refinement and other Agile?

Been stuck in meetings all day (-_-)/

I miss actually doing my job.

    Your boss saw the no meetings day as well.

    Ah my favorite type of agile, pomp agile.

    You go through all the motions and ceremonies and it benefits nobody but the leaders egos.

    I fought this by creating routine meetings on my calendar that went into detail about the projects I was working on. They would span at least an hour and sometimes would be a full day.

    When your boss complains you aren't meeting for some pomp, ask them if their meeting is more important than making progress on x project. Even better if they were dumb enough to do it via email.

    Eventually they will hang themselves or get the message they are destroying productivity.
