Oh god, this perfectly describes the company I just quit. They went from using Trello, allowing us to choose what to work on, loosely setting story points and ... that was it.
Then they decided they needed the metrics on everything, so they switched to JIRA, started doing retros, setting strict points on tasks(reprimanded in retros if you messed up), using burndown charts to reprimand even more, and giving the product manager the power to dictate what I work on and in what order.
It went from being a great company to work at, to a company I ran away from. I have half a mind to send this thread over to them.
