Daily standup. Is there anything more fucking useless. I quit attending mine and keep getting reprimanded lol. Told a kid who tried mentioning how Google uses it and it’s awesome (soi retard dork who needs a weggie) to “then go apply for Google and quit messaging me about this.” Hahahahahhah I love it. ROCK THE BOAT ROCK THE BOAT ROCK THE BOAT! 



>hurrr da Japanese do dis so it must be good! They do it at Toyota



Holy fuck. Fuck Japan. Idgaf what a bunch of skitzos who work 14 hours a day and then jerk off to comic books do. It’s gay and retarded.

Good, you have balls. Conflict avoidant people are the ones that get trampled on and exploited.

>Google uses it

Google isn't a monolithic entity, it's up to the individual team to decide what they do. Some times are all-in on the agile/kanban/standup bs, others don't do anything other than a once a week meeting to summarize status of all projects.

>Conflict avoidant people

Redpill me on this

They're the ones who try to comprise, try to use reason and logic to win arguments, try to please everyone. In reality, that rarely works. People in power and those that want to take advantage of you see that as a weakness and react accordingly. 



Look at how politicians and celebrities communicate to the public. They never use reason or logic. They always appeal to emotions because they know emotions have way more power than logic.



If you find yourself doing most of the work at your workplace, that probably means you're a conflict avoidant person.

What what is an example of initiating conflict?

Conflict can happen whenever there's an attempt to exercise any form of power. OP not attending standup and talking down on his coworker are examples of this.

OP here this is a good good point. I usually like keeping people happy and busting my ass because I like things done my way. We hire two new kids that are just nightmares to deal with man. Use buzzwords every 5 minutes (for 2 months all they said was kubernetes) and just zip around. I let a lot go and relaxed and finally they started doing stuff that messed with my stuff and I told them “I don’t want to use this shit you want to use and quit fucking breaking stuff. You’re brand new act like it you don’t run the place.” Anywho I’m resigning this week got a new higher paying job and I run the show there so I’m happier.

I don’t like how they do stuff and I don’t agree with any of this especially when we never did it before these new dorks came to work and acted like they run the place. I was overly nice when they started but they kept pushing and befriended the manager hella fast and everything changed.

Being reasonable works when you can rely on public opinion, if you're arguing with someone and they start screaming at you but you stay calm, people are likely to side with you just because to an outsider you're normal and the screaming person is crazy. The mistake is thinking that this works on every situation, if there's a hieararchy of power, people will more often than not side with the person higher up, if OP tried reason here it wouldn't have worked, so a more direct solution was the correct choice
