I recently moved into a team, and we had two stand ups one in the morning with the internal team and one in the evening with the business team. I asked why we should have two stand ups when the business team only attends the evening one and it is taking one hour for stand ups alone(1/2 +1/2)
and they gave me a dumb answer and told me, this the Agile process they follow.

'That's how we do it here' is not an argument. Unfortunately it is a very common reply to get when your new on a team.

If I may suggest, take some time to lobby around and see if any of your co-workers are on the same page. Maybe then you can try and open the discussion together. Good luck :)
