I missed my scrum today. Missed the team meeting with VP, he asks everyone what are they working on, a good way to get in touch with peers.
Reason being, when I was sleeping the family started screaming in the morning for 2 hours they went on. I got little stressed and my eyes are still swollen.

Is it the valid reason not attending the meetings. I'm working for a promotion and 1 day in 2 weeks miss my scrum due to some reasons. What do you people think, should I stop struggling for promotion now and find another job?

    Be transparent with you superior. If it's the first time, that should be okay.

    People make mistakes. Don't bother too much about it.

    @react-guy This is the thing, it's not the first time. Like I said 1 day in 2 weeks I have something so I miss my scrum and inform people that this came up so I can't attend. There was a time when my manager pointed some people out in the group channel who were not consistent in scrums, I was one of them. At that time I was too inconsistent. I apologized on the group chat and after that missing is just once in a while.

    Well, the daily is not extremely important in my opinion, if your work is consistent then I wouldn’t mind as a SM or PO. Also I think it depends on the dynamic of the team.

    @edw1o1 I also feel that daily scrums are a lot. Mostly it is for the peers to know what blockers are there and also to understand the work on project.
    I skipped today as I had another meeting for my project. It happens every Monday.
    Scrums make me feel inferior.
