[03] SALARY DELUSION
MARKET AVERAGE

FLIGHT RISK:85%HIGH RISK
[DIAGNOSIS]High overhead, low direct contribution, and often seen as expendable when cost-cutting measures are implemented.
[05] THE BULLSHIT METRICS
Story Point Velocity
An arbitrary measure of work completion, often inflated or inconsistent across teams.

Tracking how quickly they 'remove blockers' (often self-created or minor issues).
Agile Ceremony Attendance
The number of participants in endless meetings, regardless of actual engagement or outcome.
[06] SIGNATURE WEAPONRY
JIRA Workflow Diagrams
Byzantine flowcharts explaining how work *should* move, not how it actually does.
Stand-up Meetings
Daily ritual where individuals recite yesterday's tasks, today's tasks, and fabricated blockers.
Velocity Charts
Graphs used to demonstrate an illusion of progress, often manipulated or misunderstood.
[07] SURVIVAL / ENCOUNTER GUIDE
[IF ENGAGED:]If encountered, feign intense focus on a critical task, then disappear into a deep work channel before they can schedule a 'sync'.
[08] THE JD AUTOPSY: WHAT DO THEY ACTUALLY DO?
LINKEDIN ILLUSION

LINKEDIN ILLUSION

LINKEDIN ILLUSION
[SOURCE REDACTED]
"Foster a culture of continuous improvement and accountability."

[09] DAY-IN-THE-LIFE LOG
[09:00 - 10:00]
Stand-up Facilitation
Guide teams through mandatory daily rituals, ensuring everyone recites their progress and 'blockers.'
[11:00 - 12:30]

Engage in endless discussions about backlog items, ensuring every ticket conforms to an overly complex workflow.
[14:00 - 15:30]
Velocity Report Analysis
Manipulate or interpret data to justify the team's 'progress' to middle management, often presenting an optimistic illusion.
[10] THE BURN WARD (UNFILTERED COMPLAINTS)
* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.
"Low pay to start."
"No work life balance"
"No growth opportunities whatsoever."
"After I left nobody got laid off or fired after the project failed but it's 5 years later and nobody got promoted since then and almost no salary increases."
