@Lyniven we just joined a team way back with a sprint that's about to start in 2 days. User stories in the backlog are just 1 sentence. Incomplete and vague. Despite all of that the sprint started and we are asked to story point the incomplete user story with no acceptance user criteria.
Argue, justify or complain will most likely get you fired. -
@nibor yes mutual high paid slave. You are correct and I can't do nothing about it. You know, there are some few masters out there who treat their slaves well most of the time. Unlike in our situation right now. Fast deadlines, no proper orientation and turn over, vague user stories, changing requirements, etc. The list goes on.

@nibor some slaves were paid

@Devnergy time to find a new job and not working for idiots then

My friend sent me this.
Hate it when clients told you a specific requirement but then changes it the last minutes. You can't justify or argue. Can't do nothing about it but only follow. Just a high paid slave.
Example:
Client-verbal: background color of all 5 pages
Me-with email verification: ok. I will bg color of all pages will be red based from our last meeting.
Client email reply: ok
After a few days
Client: I think we have misunderstanding. What I meant was 4 pages red only. The 5th page should be maroon.
Me in my mind: wtf. Of course I can't argue but just agree and follow. The demo is near and he'll just inform the last minute. I will not win this argument.
Also, there are no acceptance criterias in the user story.
