My company sells employee time tracking software. We have helped companies implement these systems many times where the employees previously were unaccustomed to accounting for their time. At times this generated some intense emotions. Some people really don’t want to track their time.
Why is this?
Reason One: Reporting time can threaten status.
For salaried people, especially if they been employed earlier in their life in an hourly “time clock” environment, reporting time can make them feel demoted. Conventional wisdom (that I disagree with) is that “professional” people are more trustworthy and less in need of supervision than “blue collar” people.
