Death by a 1000 Standups (opens in new tab)

Why do you care if everyone starts work around the same time? And why in the name of DOG do you think that a meeting is the best way to enforce that?

You were doing so well until you didn't say "so we got rid of them, end of post. Catch us next time"

I've worked at two places that had 'Slack standups' in the morning. These don't really work for me because often I am 'swapped out' with whatever I was thinking about in the evening and I found it a distraction to write up exactly what I was up to and was planning to do.

I switched to filling these out when I leave work instead of when I start so I have something to remind me of what I was working on and what I need to do next. I haven't once gotten a complaint.
