Imagine punching clock every 10 minutes including a small report about what you did in those 10 minutes.

Who is saying that anyone should be required to do that, though?

Some professions require employees to track time in smaller increments than 10 minutes (IIRC most lawyers at firms in the US bill in six-minute increments), but that's for the purpose of billing that time to the correct client, not as a way of micromanaging the employee.

At one job I had, certain departments billed by minute.

Your ticket updates were expected to be to the exact minute, and there was a counter at the top to tell you how close you were to your 8 hours.

Many starting out would end up needing 10-12h to make that 8.
