Man, you must have worked at some really toxic workplaces.

I could write a paragraph reputing point by point every single one of your sentences in a healthy organization.

All I can really say is you should consider switching jobs. You'll have to take my word for it today but it's way better out there, and you can join a company and a team that will make you feel like NONE of those things (yet still have daily standups)

Me too, then, because that accurately describes every Agile workplace I've been in the last 10+ years.

(I will concede that a lot of those were contracts and almost by definition, if they're hiring contractors to come in as emergency fixers, things are not going well anyway.)
