Several months ago my manager wanted us to track our time throughout the day. Part of it was to assist with load balancing where if person A spends 80% of their time doing reports and doesn’t have time for other stuff while person B only does 25% reports then some can be shifted. But the bigger portion was because Person C pretty much did fuck-all all day and played on their phone, but that’s beside the point.
After about 7 months the manager started to phase it out and said we don’t need to. Overall I didn’t mind because it helped me track the day and keep me a little more engaged. But the biggest reason I do it is to better track and manage my true time. If I start the day a little early and don’t take a full 30 minute lunch, you bet your ass I’m slipping out a little early!
