From demanding all computer screens face them to micromanaging time that required logging every minute in 15 minute intervals. I've seen it. From email snooping to timestamp logging to phone call recording tracking micromanagers are alive and well .

When I've seen 15 min time logging it's always been when time is billable. Have you seen cases outside of this?

We were using it internally pretending we were billing each other. Total employees under 5 people. Monthly an accountant would email and say you are not billing enough hours. This was full time.. weird, horrible experience I can bring with me.
