The last place i worked at they started pushing the same type of cringe. What made it worse was the PM/BA wasnt actually writing stories. One sprint I had 4 stories with just titles and "TBD" on the description. His boss was mad that my productivity was low when i couldnt do the work they couldn't describe.
Good job not doing a murder! I don't know if I could keep my cool at whomever allowed "TBD" to get into an active sprint.
How can you provide acceptable results if there is no acceptance criteria defined? Was "literally reads minds" on your job posting?!
The problem was that my boss was a title hopper and needed to fill his old position and he did it with yes men who wouldn't stand up for anything. Meant that these yes men were also not the greatest at doing the rest of the job either.
They were expecting me to just do Hero Engineering by not objecting, put in more time and fill on the gap when theu couldn't do their job. Was the first time in 20 years i ever was reprimanded, been praised at everything else I've done. So i knew at that point this was just a toxic place to work.
Sounds infuriating as hell. Props for your use of the past tense :D
