Is anyone else required to log their timesheets starting Monday? Or is it just heritage Enterprise Technology/EDO? And does anybody know the reason behind the request?

My guess is that Clarity as a company told the clowns at Truist, we will let you have the tool free for x amount of months, we will show you all the great reporting it now has. So the clowns bought it, hook, line, and sinker. All of the other banks use it. I can hear the BS flowing over in the conference room.
Just like the every 6 month review, absolutely useless. But makes managers and HR look like they do something.
@ns Figures. We're seeing the same thing. People getting credit for things they don't understand or do but put on a performance as if they do lol
The shoe will drop, though. Someone will need to get cut in this adult day care.
@kd So many managers. 8 under each leader. And only 1 or 2 actually do the work. The others do nothing all day.
@gp Of course. Gotta impress the dear leaders so they don't get cut in the next reorginization and cut down on managers.
@d3 you think? Like they are trying to cut expenses or something.
Ask how this data will be verified. If they struggle to answer, then it is probably just a pet project and not corporate policy.
Feels like this company is going backwards and seems suspicious. Like there is probably an ulterior motive behind this.
@bw asking people to self-report what they are working on in a tertiary tool once a month is not how a 21st century organization forecasts
This is surprising email about Clarity time tracking, yes? My understanding is that it's for project budget tracking and not time tracking for pay. As salary FTE previoisly outside of tech, we never had to track because we were just baseline operate expense and invest projects for our time for "free". My guess is they want to see how many baseline emp hours are going to invest projects.
I’m in a different org and not yet asked to do so. At peer banks this is not a micromanaging activity - it’s for forecast discipline. Without knowing what activities teammates spend time on they will never be able to properly staff and estimate efforts which results in overextended resources, cost over runs, and year end ramp down in contract resources. It is a positive step to mature cost estimating for resources planning to reduce the roller coaster of hiring for projects and releasing for cost over burn.
