i had to enter hours when working at a digital agency so they could accurately bill the clients. a majority of our projects during my time there were fixed bid so it was mostly a track of why we were over budget. turns out fixed bid projected without fixed scope rarely make money

fun yospos timesheet story: i'd always bullet all the stuff i worked on when filling out my timesheets and apparently the - chars i used were breaking the spreadsheets our system would output for the project managers and whoever else read them. i was just put on a new project a few weeks ago and the PM told me to knock it off almost immediately. i've been bulleting my timesheets for over a year now and he was the first person to actually notice lol

when I worked at ea I had to use a time sheet system and so I did and would put in my OT and everything else and it would always go through with no questions. then one day I get an email from a marketing guy over in Sports who is like "hey man, I'm leaving in 2 weeks and I won't be able to approve your time sheets anymore" and I'm like "who the gently caress is this, my director approves my time sheets" nope. this guy had been blindly approving time sheets for months for an employee he had never heard of. and my director also didn't say anything either. hosed up

i have a client that issued a PO for our base labour estimate but insists on manually approving timesheets weekly anyway. he has no idea what we're doing or how it's done, but he needs to manually approve it every week. now he's trying to find ways to bring some in-house people with no knowledge of the systems in on the project to "speed things up". not that anything is behind schedule, he just seems to think throwing more bodies in there will somehow reduce our hours.

an investigation at my work found like a few dozen people out of ten thousand were saying they worked hours but not getting any work done for weeks at a time. that's pretty good percentages really but lol try telling that to the republican congressman who sees his chance to slam government employees some more. so because their supervisors were too lazy to properly document it and fire their asses all of us get a time sheet crackdown. not only do I have to fill out a time sheet each pay period but at the beginning of every single day I have to fill out how much I expect to work that day. any discrepancies between the two have to be answered for. lol we are wasting tens of millions of dollars worth of employee and management time to save a few hundred thousand at the most assuming they actually fire the underperforming employees.
