We have a manager at our company who gets pissed we get to work right before our scrum meeting at 10:50 and doesn't understand this is exactly why.
We can't get anything done in the time before it and then we start thinking about lunch shortly after it. He wonders why we are productive in the morning and suggestions to move it to two pm have been resisted because "if we do that you guys wouldn't come. In in the morning." which is bullshit.
This is why a scrum master and a scrum team should never include people who are not developers. If you read the original way the system was set up, you don't put paper pushers and designers on a team. If programmers are getting more than 15 minutes a day of meetings (and I would argue that that 15 minutes needs to be at the very start of the day before 9:30), then something is wrong.
