Such incredible bullshit. Tracking is to learn and see where things go right and wrong.

The fact manglement then puts the onus on the employee to cook te books for them is bizarre. Once tasks go over budget you can have a talk about it in a retrospective or something. But half hours… makes no sense.

Yeah it’s why at later jobs I advocate for complexity points and don’t do consulting anymore.

Tying money to hours spent on a task just encourages all the wrong behavior.

Yeah, but, like, how many hours will it take for you to deliver 5 complexity points?

Yeah, exactly. My attitude is you can cook your own damn books, don’t expect me to log anything other than the actual accurate time. Although I work at a company where we have no time tracking at all, good to be free of it
