Could you explain why so many people hate stand-ups? In my current and previous jobs we spend around 1 hour once a week discussing what each person is working on, usually with some quick side chats about small issues we run into.

I've always experienced these as quite useful and never hear too much complaining about it.

It's just awful. It's artificial and stupid, like sprints and SCRUM. Most of the times it's just some PM's wet dream so they can feel like they're managing stuff.

All the stuff you need to know you already know. And all the stuff you want to know you can just ask outside of the stupid meeting too.

In theory it's a good concept. But in reality it's just a time wasting event that accomplishes nothing. A good stand up would not be weekly but occasionally when it needs to.

Also this is a contradiction:

I guess nobody will complain during a stand up.

As long as all participants respect the law of standup, it's cool.

You get a person who thinks it's open mic night?

Ruined and made into daily hell.
