(3,135 posts)36. I worked for a couple of large corporations that did this shit. Once I got into corporate world I was told not uncommon
Corporate world offered easily 30-35% more than I was making at smaller companies (IT server and network admin) but I did NOT like it AT all. 2 of the 3 big corporations I worked for required either weekly or bi-monthly work reports of what I did. One of them you would get fired if you turned them in 24 hours too late 2 times in a year. It literally took an hour a day to fill out their stupid paperwork. It's all about analytics anymore, which I think is BS. I'm so sorry to hear you having to go through this.
