Amazon Manager Standup statements

Do Amazon managers also give a stand up status?

No

Die stand-ups. Be adults and get your work done without daily supervision. Need help? Send a pigeon.

Nope, they are a previliged class.

I mean, what would you expect us to say? "Yesterday I spent a couple of hours preparing a dev plan for Mike, which I'm on track to present to him next week. Sorry Mike. Then I was collecting feedback for Karen's promotion from Scott here, but Scott says he's not inclined, so Karen, we'll be delaying that. Finally in the afternoon I had my 1:1 with Tim here, who complained about his comp and I had to spend some time explaining to him why he can't get top tier unless he actually hits his freaking deadlines. Oh, and there were some emails about space planning since our team will be relocating to another building soon, but you all aren't supposed to know about that."

So that means you don’t speak during a stand up correct?

You use body language to convey micro-agressions

They should, mine does.

Must be L5 or with few directs

Curious to know what your mgrs updates look like? I tried in the beginning but most of my work whole day reflected in a post above and of course it is hard to share.

SDMs are suppose to be technical, should participate in design discussion. All new requests coming in, new mandate, meetings attend - all should be share in stand-up.
