Just a friendly reminder, if you're a manager and require employees to keep track of what they work on with an Excel document, you're a piece of shit and deserve AIDS.

Of course not. There is Microsoft Project, after all.

>Hey Anon, I'm too fucking incompetent to do my own job of being aware of what you're doing, so if you could just detail what you've worked on today, that'd be great, yeah.

It's a piss-poor method of accountability. Your job as manager is to remove obstacles to getting work done, not creating them because you don't have a fuckall clue how to efficiently keep track of what your employees are doing.
My current manager asks me to detail what I do a couple times every year whenever he's looking to make cuts. This despite the fact my job hasn't changed and he'd have to do all my shit himself if he laid me off, so he never does. I just keep forwarding him the same email from the first time he asked in 2011. He never archives the email or notices the date on it and forgets all about it immediately afterward.
Managers have the memory and work ethic of a fucking goldfish these days.

Provide a tool like Jira or whatever so tasks are tracked in a place visible to everybody
My manager still asks for a weekly activity report, which I actually don't mind doing. I just go down my list of commit comments and summarize it into a bulleted list. Sort of nice to take a few minutes and put the week's work in perspective.
