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.
My favorite was getting reamed because you put 30 minutes over the estimated hours on a task.
It made task accounting a nightmare as you’d have to dump hours onto unrelated task whenever something inevitably took longer than expected.
my friend. you need to learn the scotty method.
I just don’t work at places that do time tracking like that anymore.

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?
