Personally I, on the worker side of this relationship, enjoy the tracker - but I seem to be part of a tiny minority.
That being said, I've been involved with the hiring side of IT contracting before, and I can say without nuance that it would be a train wreck without some form of tracker.
Is the above just a personal squeak of disapproval or do you know of a way to avoid it while hiring strangers from around the world?
You should try contracting as an external contractor by the hour at least once in your career, imo. some people really take to it, but not others. You take home as much, or as little pay as you can manage.
Hey, I totally understand your perspective, and I get that time tracking isn’t for everyone. For me and my company, for example, they don’t even require me to track my hours. It’s really more of a tool that I’ll personally use to see how much time I spend on each task or ticket. It’s mostly for my own personal organization, not something imposed by anyone else.
