In theory, scrum is supposed to provide intentional non-ticket time after retro and before the next ipm/scrum meeting. That time can and should be used for learning, hacking, contributing, etc.

Reality of course differs.

The first rule of software methodology: no matter what the methodology proposes, professional “managers” will turn it into a micromanaged waterfall process.

I was so stoked when I read about that part of scrum back in 2006. Not once has it materialized since.

Are there still places left that don't do scrum? Hopeless to put "I am working for a workplace that does not practice scrum/sprints" in my cover letter?

Actually almost nobody does Scrum. They use some artifacts from Scrum but leave out the important parts.

It’s actually way, way worse than that. Nobody does Scrum and everybody seems to be getting into SAFe.
