They didn’t act like a dick until the employer started getting power trippy though, they didn’t say anything rude before that, just told them what the contract stated. The rudeness was definitely justified here after that though
Nah stand up meetings are unnecessary bullshit and a wet dream for managers and some team leads. Also I know multiple freelancers that all had stories about weird team leads that wanted to control them while literally not being their boss. They just crave the power over employees, they should just join some bdsm Scene and act out their fantasies there.
I do a stand up meeting for my graveyard shift as infrequently as possible. The day shift in my workplace has one every day.
My guys have more important things to do then listen to me update them on bullshit they are going to forget as soon as it goes in their ear.
This is how I know they are pointless, we would be wasting precious time getting work out on time while day shift obviously has too much time on their hands.
The guy who texted him was a dick to start off. He didn’t start of being an ass until the manager started getting uppity about a meeting that doesn’t even matter. I have a weekly stand up on Mondays, and honestly we could do without it.
Well he wasn’t a dick from the beginning, like you said, but he was unprofessional. Yeah dude, I was asleep, I basically never go to those… Could be worded in a different way.
Professionalism meaning anything other than honesty or not going out of your way to be rude is just performative ball fluffing. The absence of casualness is just a way to communicate to your superiors that their whims are soooper seeerius and impooorrrtant, and that they shouldn’t be questioned or challenged in any way that doesn’t give them an easy out that makes them feel like they’re in the driver’s seat.
For most of us, there’s no point in pretending we aren’t all a bunch of oversized chimpanzee children playing make believe. Just because some asshole has money and is playing in a big office upstairs doesn’t mean it isn’t just some bullshit game.
“Unfortunately, a higher priority task was scheduled at the same time as the standup meeting. This is a recurrent daily task that cannot be postponed and therefore I will not be attending any standup meeting. What’s the task? Oh, its a restorative maintenance session for continued service availability assurance. What’s that mean? I’m sleeping, it means I’m sleeping.”
Yeah that’s still no reason to act like a dick

You are talking about the manager, right? Then you are correct.

No, you can be professional and honest. Not mutually exclusive, or necessarily “ball fluffing”

Ooo that’s the right lingo
No reason for a manager to have 0 understanding of how employment works.
