I totally agree with you, but I would add "for me".

I absolutely hate guidelines and processes and methodologies. I'm totally not a team player either. I need to have my own responsibilities. As ISTP personality these things are totally contrary to my personality.

As such I hate every methodology, of course right now agile (and Scrum as a subset of that) is the darling of every project manager so I hate it. But I do realize it would apply to every other type too.

But anyway I do as I've always done, the absolute minimum to comply with the framework and ignore what I can get away with. Because I get results this is accepted and I'm usually maneuvered into a niche area where I can perform.

For example I always stop logging my mandatory hours in Jira until I get reprimanded and then I stop again a few months later :P

Of course "logging hours in Jira" is our company's idea of "we're agile". We literally don't do anything else :P So it's easy to get away with.
