Yeah my new boss has got keen on this too. I think it’s partly because we are part of a larger team who are IT dvelopers and they buy into the whole Agile daily standup thing. Ironic that the reason for making people stand up is to make them hurry up, but we’re all sitting down these days.
My approach is usually sullen silence with the odd bit of open hostility thrown in. Got our weekly one in an hour and I feel like snapping someone’s head off.
