It seems a case of "bait and switch". You've been attracted to a methodology as defined by experts, but get an aproximation by some random PHB. The result is similar to Mr. Bean trying to apply ninja techniques as seen on a Steven Seagal movie.
Sadly, for many of us, it's the only Scrum that we've seen, so expect more hate. Maybe it is a problem with Scrum, after all. What good is a methodology that gets so often misimplemented?

Scrum is simple. Its not misimplemented because its complicated. Its misimplemented because organizations are fundamentally not good at developing software. Scrum just puts it in your face. You don't even need to actually write any software to know how and why you are failing. Just attempt to do Scrum, and see what excuses you make to do not do any given part of it.
