Sapience numbers incorrect on MacOS?

Are there any other developers on here with abnormally low Sapience numbers on MacOS? I've heard rumors of it barely working properly on macs, but my Sapience implies I've worked only 2 months worth of hours for an entire quarter, but spent an entire month working 60 hours a week to crunch for deadlines.

Can't wait for this to be used against me on the HR side for performance reviews, since management knows I don't AFK all day :))))

Sapience doesn't measure anything that means anything anyway. I just spoke with a coworker at her desk. Who gives a fu-k.

You can open a request and have the team investigate, but usually the answer is, "it's not a tool that should be used for time tracking purposes" and then close the request. So the documented response is "it's not accurate", but the demonstrated effect is "you're fired!" based on our expensive inaccurate tool that "shouldn't be used for time tracking purposes".

A good leader would say, "a manager should know what their reports are doing and what they are completing and producing."

Perhaps a good leader has joined the ranks? Time will tell.

Mac user here. It doesn't properly record time from my IDE and seems to only track Teams meetings accurately for the most part.

Appreciate the confirmation. Boss definitely knows I'm doing more than what Sapience says, just worried about the overpowering HR Gods we have that see Sapience as a source of truth
