What to do with daily 2hr standup? It eats my gym time.

Padhle likhe gawar hire kar lete h kya ji jira m likeh status update nai padh paate? Ek hi bakwas dicuss ho rai h roz din. Iske upar se 8 ghnata code bhi chaiye. What do program managers think of themselves ?

Ye saare milke humko pagal bana rahe ., itne ga**d phati k ye..

I'm planning to say it outright to Manager, that if standups are going to run for 1.5 hrs then I will be commuting in this time. I dont get time for myself, if I just sit and listen nonsense that i can read.

Seriously the program manager should be schooled for doing a 2 hr standup.
Our stand ups are only 15 mins. It’s just meant to share updates and blockers. Strictly NO SOLUTIONING in the stand up call. Anything which needs discuss can be discussed in a separate call with the required stakeholders

For me stand up is fine, but I can't stand the estimation session every week for an hour.
