I mean yes, I hate the manager who set up JIRA that way, but JIRA is marketed to and designed for managers to over-complicate it. It is not designed as a tool for engineers to track their work. It is designed for managers to mis-manage teams, because that sells at volume.

I also have other reasons for hating JIRA:

1. no ticket hierarchy
2. no multiple owners
3. slow. so very slow
4. sometimes keyboard shortcuts work, sometimes they don’t. There is no apparently pattern.
