Nah, time tracking is often needed for tax purposes: companies can write off R&D expenses
It all depends on how time tracking is implemented.
Tell me I have to account for my time in 15-30 min increments? Fine, I can put it into a spreadsheet and track it.
Tell me I have to track real time spent? Get entirely fucked, and I hope you're ok with spending time fixing my time punches because I absolutely am going to forget to open or close a time entry because I'm working on 3-4 tasks at any given time.
I've done both, and while I won't intentionally sabotage the latter, my rampant ADHD and terrible memory have got my back on that one.
Yeah but that can be done after you're finished, definitely shouldn't be part of planning!
