  1. I'm at an org where devs are reprimanded for addressing tech issues that 'werent asked for' in the ticket even if they only take a couple hours and are objectively better. They also treat devs as coding bandwidth; their advice is almost never taken and any deviation from the glorious scrum plan is stomped out vigorously with a lecture on priorities. Of course, anything that doesn't go to plan is blamed on the devs as it's assumed the plan 'should' have worked. I can tell you without hesitation that the awful environment kills engagement and therefore productivity/quality. Devs have to take the top ticket (can't even have agency within the sprint as it's been decided for you) so are happy to just plug away at tickets w/no cares given to the actual impact or value.
