My first helpdesk job had daily "standup" that often went for over an hour. We'd be sitting there getting chewed out by the owner about how we're not getting enough done, while we can hear the phones ringing and angry voicemails from clients stacking up in the background. One of the worst jobs I ever had.

some people really seem to think that shitting on the ones who actually do the job solves anything

That guy was an egomaniac with a pathological need to be the smartest person in the room. Which was unfortunate for him, because although a competent technician, he was awful at running a business. Also he decided at some point that he knew enough about his craft in a field where everything is constantly changing.
