My old boss at the data center in Boise made us track every minute of our day on a spreadsheet.
It felt like being watched all the time and killed any real focus. After I left that job, my new manager just asks for a simple weekly update email with our three main tasks. The change happened about six months ago, and my stress level is way down. Has anyone else had a boss who tracked time in a way that just made work harder?

Made us track every minute" sounds like a nightmare, doesn't it?

I get why "track every minute" sounds bad, but it really helped me. I used to lose whole afternoons to random internet browsing. Writing down what I actually did showed me where my time went. It wasn't about my boss, it was about being honest with myself. That small change let me fix my schedule and finish work on time.
