Work Reform

CEO's location is listed as "The Greater Chicago Area"

This is exactly the kind of behavior that modern capitaliam produces: money, power, and growth at any cost. Other humans are no longer people or equals, they are tools. Morals and ethics must be left behind to "succeed".

As others have replied yes the term was inspired by the rugby term but unlike a rugby coach who sets the teams strategy and game tactics, the scrum master in agile methodology is a tactical role that is focused on ensuring the team are observing agile ceremonies, sticking to their sprint commitments etc. What the team are doing and why is the responsibility of other roles like Product Managers who may also have Product Owners working closely with the teams whose responsibility is to have a prioritised backlog of items for the team to use as input to plan upcoming work. Usually there are higher level roles that set business level / market level strategy that gives guidance to Product Managers on where products should be focusing to meet specific business goals.

manager of bullshit that does little to no actual work

Scrum is an Agile project management methodology. Basically it centers around iterated short term "sprints" of about two weeks where team members have relative autonomy, and after which there are meetings to consider any emergent issues before committing to the next sprint. It's supposed to be more flexible and responsive than traditional "waterfall" project management, where an entire project is planned out in advance in a linear progression. Funnily enough it actually was named after the rugby term

It's very popular in software development in particular, since oftentimes development can be broken into modular tasks that can be worked on in parallel. Many argue that it's a fad that's been shoehorned into applications where it isn't useful, or that some practitioners focus so much on the structure that they bog down the process with endless meetings.

A scrum master is a specialist who helps an organization implement scrum.

Unsure if a joke or not, but in the event of a serious question:

scrum masters are heads of scrum teams, their main purpose is facilitating good work conditions for the workers in the team. This generally means arranging and leading typical scrum meetings, helping workers do their job and shielding them from the Production Owner (the guy that decides what they are to make/deliver during a sprint . (sprints are 2-3 weeks long, where work is done according to a selection done at the start of the sprint and interruptions are kept low during that time.)

I don't want to say that it's an easy roles, but it's more a management type of role than a worker role. In my team the scrum master is also doing development work, since scrum master tasks alone aren't that huge with the way we do things.

It is all suspect. He got his degree in 2016, Masters in 2015, Phd in 2020. The Yatiken he associates himself with on his linked in was started in 2014 so he is not the founder of that Yatiken. There is another Yatiken company registered in 2020 that lists him but amusingly has him no longer being a manager in 2021.

One might even call it "unprofessional."

Not surprising for entitled CEOs, though.

That seems to happen if you report a post. It's still up, just once you report it Linkedin prevents you from seeing it

Even from a pure selfish perspective, this is the more important issue. That interviewee (who's name I won't write, as to not increase the score of this post when people search it) already can't work there because he failed the interview (or because the interview failed him) and the damage was already done (his name got exposed), but anyone else who considers interviewing with Dr. Alok Kashyap of Yatiken Software should consider this a warning that if they do - their name may be exposed as well.
