Completely agree. Sabotaging the team practices won't get you far.
That's exactly the problem with implementing things like standup and retros.
You're confining information that would be shared asynchronously and in written form to a boring meeting nobody is interested in listening to.
I hate standups, I won't listen to your update, if I need something I'll ask in the team channel.
Before standups were a thing people just wrote when they finished something in a channel. They didn't waste an entire day and waited for a meeting to say it in an effort to appear busy.
Before retros were a thing people just wrote whatever problem they had in the room and people could discuss problems in real time. Now they waste an entire month and then write a passive aggressive post-it on a Miro board - which most likely will end up ignored because look at how many others action points we have.
People adapt to situations and they don't need formal processes to act correctly.
If they do need them, you should fire heads that can't think.
People over processes was Agile's mantra, why have we forgotten that?
Nowadays "agile" is worse than waterfall: same load in processes and bureaucracy, none of the planning.
