I had an employee that did this (I was his manager), and I was quite grateful.

He wasn't our most productive or "rockstar" engineer, but he was highly organized, and I appreciated it.

I ran a query against Azure Devops to produce a list of workitems that I had worked on for the year and gave it to my manager. It took maybe five minutes to dump it into Excel and format it to look good.

I got a raise because I did this - I had hard numbers showing how productive I was for the year, and other devs didn't so he had to guesstimate their contributions.
