Or you can just catch up when you're working? I don't understand what this has to do with agile. Are they going to fire you if you don't finish the sprint's tasks?

Eventually, yes?

Everywhere I’ve ever worked has treated sprints as an endless series of 2 week deadlines.

(Yes, I understand this is not “real” agile. I’ve never seen “real” agile and don’t personally know anyone who has.)

  • Well that sucks. Everywhere I've worked has treated sprints as a short term planning exercise. There's no penalty for not finishing all your sprint tasks; it just means your estimate was off and you probably need to add less work to the next sprint.
