In waterfall, it's continuing to work when you know that it won't come out positively/successfully. In agile, it's allowing the rhythm to sound more like a drumbeat than a heartbeat. The drumbeat enslaves, a heartbeat gives life. Sounds like some of your folks are feeling satisfaction and one person might not be. Time to reflect on that persons responsibilities and differences from the others. Make sure they are mixing it up. Either something is out of balance on the team or that individual is a "glass is half empty person". Either way, the scrum master/team coach needs to do something about it to help before that attitude is cross-pollinated to others. It’s called the death march.
