I used to work in a web dev job where when they brought in "time tracking" they wanted everyone to update a spreadsheet with what they were doing every half an hour. A spreadsheet, as literally a .xls, on a shared Windows drive. Everyone spent more time waiting for access to the spreadsheet than they did doing any work.

This situation persisted for about two weeks, and the manager that came up with the genius idea about two weeks longer than that, before we eventually told the other managers we were downing tools and leaving if he didn't either get "promoted to customer" or lay off the charlie during work hours.

Because it's was a shitty company and I only worked there for one month. I absolutely hate any type of time tracking or attempts to micro manage.
