ULPT request - so my boss has recently introduced this new system where we have to show what we did all day, hour by hour.
Posted by wholock_2430@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 142 comments
Basically what the heading says , my boss recently introduced a new rule where at the end of the day we have to send him an excel file showing our entire day's work hour by hour. He then proceeds to send an email asking questions like why did this task take an hour ? Elaborate on this task .
How can I get him to back off or atleast ease up a bit
Shaitan34@reddit
Tell him he can write out what he wants you do do instead.
Philonic@reddit
Include the amount of time spent each hour writing up this stupid form. Make sure you have a total showing how much is wasted.
FitCaptain1008@reddit
7min. Pee break, 2min pen replacement, 4min stapler refill, 3min congratulate Susan on her mediocre children getting accepted to community colleges, 2min prepare for mid morning meeting, 4min filling out this form for the 1st hour, 45 minutes mid morning meeting (notes from meeting ie "unexcused time off is up 1.25% this quarter ")
If your whole day fits on one sheet of paper, you've failed us
ishityounot79@reddit
Finished edits on PowerPoint deck, met with John for feedback, sent out meeting invites, answered incoming call from client ABC, made requested revisions on ABC’s file, watched video of colleague’s insufferable kid ride his bike and came up with a generic yet convincing positive response, answered another incoming call from Acme client and got a referral. Called referral, introduced myself, did needs assessment, prepared a proposal and emailed for review. Got distracted by these pesky functions of my job and forgot to track time. Spent 1.5 hours retracing my steps, call history, properties of each document and version history, call logs, sent items and internet history to confirm time spent on each task.
Then I had lunch for 13 minutes, walked my dog for 35 minutes, he peed 20 times and pooped twice. Heated up my coffee for 1:25 minutes, remembered I had a brownie in the fridge and heated it up for 1 minute. Burnt the shit out of the roof of my mouth so got a glass of ice water 2 minutes.
Make it agonizing for him to read. Show him how much time it takes to keep up with recording every task when you’re busy actually doing your job. How absolutely annoying that you have to do this!

Don't forget the nose picking.

Nice touch. I like it.
Onakangaroo@reddit
And between each activity , 1 min of updating the form

Updating/completing the form, if done in detail, should take no less than 2 hours daily.

Turbulent-Matter501@reddit
I worked at a printer and bindery for a few years where we had to keep track in eight minute increments what we were doing and what job we were working on, all day every day and this is what a lot of us did. On my first day when they handed me this sheet and told me how to fill it out, I thought it was an initiation joke. It definitely was not LOL
tinyfron@reddit
Blimey! How long did you last?
Turbulent-Matter501@reddit
Just a few months.
tinyfron@reddit
I mean it's amazing you lasted that long!
Fluffychipmonk1@reddit
It’s incredibly terrible to try and use this tactic, it’s awful management, I just let go one of my district managers because he tried to institute some nonsense like this. I tried to explain why it’s counter productive to do this to people, he started doing it as he felt some reps he had weren’t working, with out communicating to his team he instead decided this terrible idea was good. It’s not and his terrible idea and even worse response cost him a job.
Turbulent-Matter501@reddit
I think this place did it mostly for bookkeeping purposes, so they could bill their customers the exact amount of labor that went into their jobs....but it seems after a few years in business you could probably estimate these things. It wasn't a huge place, either, maybe 25 employees total LOL
Turbulent-Matter501@reddit
Oh here's another one, I worked in land surveying and one place I worked required us to arrive half an hour Before Clocking In to prep and load the trucks and have a morning meeting. So we'd do all that, clock in, then leave the office and find a nice place for breakfast and enjoy that for an hour. Then we'd go to work. And I didn't feel the least bit bad about it. Still don't.
wholock_2430@reddit (OP)
I usually write my daily activity at the end of the day but this is a good idea. I'll start logging in the activity as soon as I finish it .
jf727@reddit
I had to turn it in weekly, but did it in 15 minute increments, including the two hours it took each week to properly document everything. It was obvious my boss never read it, and he could see me from his office.
toadjones79@reddit
This, 100%. Be extremely detailed and spend time throughout the day making notes that say "15 minutes filling out this form." Add it up at the bottom in its own column.
Get other people to do the same .make your times all be around the same. Make it boringly obvious that this is costing way more than it helps.
It would be helpful to accidentally cc in his boss, if he has one.
The best option is to quit and say that it was this kind of insane micromanagement that most people refuse to put up with. You can cite several studies that say as much as well.
Rachel_Silver@reddit
My coworkers and I pretty much did that at a lab where I worked. Each entry for a task was followed by two minutes "Updating task log". They told us to update the log only twice a day, before lunch and before leaving, thinking that would streamline things. Not only did the total amount of time spent on it go up slightly up (because it "wasn't fresh in our minds" lol), it was also a lot more obvious how much time we were spending on the logs. That brought attention to the fact that our project turnaround time was rising.

Don't forget to add the time answering his questions like why did that task take an hour and elaborate on that task.

I had a similar situation a while back, and decided to pay for the app Rewind.ai on my company MacBook Pro. A It basically records your screen all day so you can actually rewind it (if you need) but you can also just ask it questions like “summarize all major actions for the day to justify my existence to my boss”.
Worked like a charm and he, being a dinosaur that knew nothing about technology, just thought I was a stellar employee.

Be glad you're not an attorney. Some of us have to record our time in 6 minute increments, and in excruciating detail
Uhohtallyho@reddit
Wait a minute I'm getting billed by the half hour, is this not usual??
RogueThneed@reddit
Do you mean your time is billed out by the half hour? or that when you get a bill, it's in half-hour increments? (In other words, are you an attorney?)
Uhohtallyho@reddit
My attorney bills me my the half hour, even if a call only takes 10 minutes.
RogueThneed@reddit
Yeah, that's rude
Uhohtallyho@reddit
Extremely.
burghblast@reddit
It depends. I worked in biglaw 10 years ago. Almost everything was 0.1 then (six minutes). Now I'm a gov attorney and don't have to bill at all. I have heard rumors of some firms trying to move away from the billable hour with more flat fee agreements. But AFAIK, all biglaw firms still measure associate productivity by the billable hour. I have never heard of half hour increments. Maybe at smaller firms with smaller clients?
tiltldr@reddit
If they charge $500 per hour, taking a six minute dump costs the client $50
burghblast@reddit
No it costs the attorney $50.
langecrew@reddit
I actually had to do this as a computer programmer (wrt 6 minutes). A fucking programmer. It was insane. I've even briefly had to do time report with minute accuracy. You can't even make this shit up, it's so dumb

also, track the time you spend on this task. BUT use language carefully. You didn't hang out at the watercooler and talk to the hot secretary. You had a brief meeting to go over some office logistics with penny. You didn't have a long lunch. You took some time to reflect and plan. Thinking and planning are legitimate parts of your job, right? You didn't waste your morning catching up on your emails. You aligned expectations on project vision.

Sugar_Cherry_Jerry@reddit
I’ve had 2 jobs do this and it never lasted longer than a couple of weeks.
It sucks at first, but once you’re prepared you’ll mindlessly be aware of what you’ll be putting on the form to not raise any flags. Just make it look “full” to not bring you any attention.
Eventually the form only applies to warehouse / production employees, and l then slowly people stop doing it until it retires.

Be sure after every 45 min note that you stopped for 15 min to take notes for the end of day report.
Be sure to be very detailed. "Hit the space bar on my computer to log in. Typed in username and ** (password redacted) double clicked on email program. Clicked on calendar. Read Manglement's email....". Don't forget to document pee breaks "stood up. Took 45 steps to restroom door. Pushed door open. Took 15 steps to urinals. Avoided eye contact. Unzipped. Peed. Zipped up. Took 15 steps to bathroom door. Opened door. Walked 20 steps towards my desk. Stopped to say hi and shook your hand. Took 25 steps back to chair and sat down. Rotated 30°. Opened drawer.

Stunning_Run_7354@reddit
At one point I had to do something similar while working for a large organization. Ours was broken into 15 minute increments, so it was difficult for me to adjust.
We would receive about 100 emails a day, but only four or five would require immediate responses. I adjusted my schedule so I spent 15 minutes every hour reading and updating emails, 30 minutes researching and responding to emails and 15 minutes of updating the task log.
Two weeks into the study our entire team was “in trouble” because we were no longer making site visits or completing tasks that required more than one hour of continuous effort. We explained that the pressure from maintaining the task log and responding to all emails was preventing us from doing the job we were hired for. Within a month the experiment was halted.

In addition to all the maliciously compliant answers about psychotically detailed time reporting, throw in things that need responses.
"Did thing X for client Y. Need XYZ from you to proceed"
Then just drop the ball on it. You might catch some heat, but at least it'll prove that he doesn't even read the timesheets he's asking for (they usually don't in my experience, but not always)

plotikai@reddit
Over communicate, eventually boss will get annoyed with how much detail you’re providing. This is typical of micro managers, they will eventually see how inefficient it is to do things this way, especially if you include in detail how long this stupid report is taking of your day
dedlobster@reddit
Yes, I had a client that wanted me to submit a time sheet and fill out copious details of what I was doing with all my billable hours. Mind you, I sent an itemized invoice with pretty detailed project reports every month anyway, but would omit minutiae that would largely be jargon he didn’t understand - like the details of custom php functions I was writing or page template designs I was coding or all the various designs I was creating for google ads and their file formats. In an invoice this would normally be “wrote custom function to remove x output from x page and replace with y output” and “created 8 google display ad designs in 4 size formats for X campaign”.
This was not enough for him to justify paying me $20 less than my normal hourly rate though, apparently, and he needed more justification and wanted to know exactly what all was involved in all this alleged work I was doing.
So I filled out obscenely long time sheets to submit weekly and included my time for this since it was outside the scope of how I normally ran my business. Everyone else working with him did the same. He backed out of the time sheet idea after 4 weeks.
He just never felt anyone was doing enough for him. He wanted us to volunteer to do stuff “for the good of the company” and would offer us low quality sticker for discounted work and such. But he ran the company so badly it was a laughable offer.
Anyway, I eventually got better clients and a year after I left the owner committed suicide because he and his company were in absolute mountains of unrepayable debt. Micromanaged timesheets for contractors were the least of his bad decisions.

EnglishBeatsMath@reddit
Have ChatGPT both make the excel file for you AND respond to his questions.
For example, if you boss asks "why'd it take you so long to respond to the email?" say:
"Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I apologize for the delay in responding to the emails. During that time, I was focused on handling a time-sensitive project, attending back-to-back meetings, and resolving a client issue, so I wasn’t able to check my inbox as promptly as usual. I understand the importance of timely communication and will make sure to monitor my email more closely moving forward, even when juggling other priorities. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to improve this going forward."
If your boss responds, continue using ChatGPT to reply. Use ChatGPT each day to automate your job bullshittery. And if your boss says "are you using ChatGPT?" respond with a ChatGPT reply about utilizing AI to optimize your workplace efficiency lol

Just make an agent to do this! Pretty sure you can build it out so you can have a reply sent within minutes of receiving an email. Chat gpt is so powerful if you know how to use it!

One of my friends had a new boss that required his direct reports to enter in all hours working on whatever in some SharePoint web form in 15 minute increments. The layout suggested that all the forms were then imported into a master sheet or something. So he started adding weird control characters into random entries. A few times, he'd enter complete garbage lines that simulated data corruption.
Then, on a whim, he did an sql command to drop columns. Like "ALTER TABLE employees DROP COLUMN last_name" or whatever.
Soon after, the boss stopped reporting metrics and didn't enforce people entering stuff into his SharePoint form. He later found out that the boss asked an employee to help him figure out why his master reports were showing up blank, but asked like he barely understood ms sql. The employee said, "your database doesn't have any of this data you're asking for." And the boss just stopped asking him.
smoothvanilla86@reddit
Include pictures of your shit when marking down your bathroom breaks.
MacintoshEddie@reddit
Well you'd talk to him about it. In some cases, it's because they know layoffs are coming, or they're being squeezed from above. Or they have someone they want to fire with cause so they grill the whole department hoping the intended target can't handle the heat.
Lots of middle managers rely on the workers under them holding them aloft, and their entire job is basically forwarding emails to the right person, and then at some point their own boss, or their boss' boss asks a question and they just plain don't have the answer or completely misunderstood the request and passed it along to someone who just plain doesn't have the access to fulfill it.
Like if the marketing VP asked them to identify the lowest 3 performing employees and boot them, but the manager genuinely has no idea who that is because they aren't really managing their team.
It can be really hard to get a proper answer at times, but sometimes it's pretty straightforwards and they just need someone to volunteer for a transfer, or to treat their staff like people and say "Who wants next year off? Billy's gonna backpack across Spain? Eric is thinking about going back to college? Cool, have fun."

dplans455@reddit
I can almost guarantee you this middle manager is taking these reports and claiming the work as his own to his own boss. I've had it happen multiple times. Whenever a manager asks you to "explain your job" it's almost always because their boss is asking them the same thing except they have no reasonable answer.

Anagoth9@reddit
Honestly, I would ask him what the end goal is.
There may, in fact, be perfectly valid reasons for wanting this information. If tasks are routinely taking longer than expected then he could just be trying to figure out what's holding people back. Like, if things are getting delayed because clients aren't answering their phones. Or if the only printer in the office is really slow and causing a bottleneck. Or if there's a form he wants you to fill out and it's taking everyone a lot more time than he predicted. Or if there's just too much bureaucracy. Effective leadership means improving efficiency beyond just cracking the whip harder but he can't fix issues that he's blind to.
Or he just thinks everyone is fucking around and wasting time and this is his way of scaring people into working harder or finding a justification to fire people. In that case you're probably better off just polishing up your resume and getting ready to jump ship.
