As a developer you are already monitored, every line of code you write or change or delete is tracked. So it is already possible to see how much you get done.

No, you are not hypersensitive. I don't wanna know how much else is wrong with a company like that.

Not disagreeing with you but I might add, pauses are also a part of the process. We (developers) aren't typists.
Yes, pauses and breaks can increase productivity so this company's intrusive monitoring is probably doing the opposite of what it intends. As long as the break isn't from an external interrupt.

Note: Self-monitoring that's not shared with employer is a different story.
