Btw, I don't know if I should shed light upon this but...
stand ups are not supposed to have managers as an attendant. Only scrum masters and engineers.
And we're NOT supposed to report our UPDATES to the manager in a scrum.
It's all about sharing the progress and reporting blockers, if any with the team mates just so that they're aware of what you're up to and if they can help you with the blockers.
Day x stand up meeting scheduled for late evening:
Manager: so, what's up?
me: fixed two bugs, analysis going on for another, having a couple of blockers, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Day x + 1 stand up scheduled for morning:
manager: what's up?
me: *repeats pretty much the same stuff, with some updates on the analysis
manager: but this is what you told me yesterday.
me: but there haven't been any working hours between our two conversations.
manager: your efficiency is questionable.
me: *thinking about my happy place with a clenched jaw
