Hi<p>I am a programmer and in my job I need to log all my hours against tasks in Jira, and submit that did the 40h.<p>Sometimes I don&#x27;t like it because something takes longer than it should then I get pulled up on it. Sometimes the reason is I had a bad day couldn&#x27;t concentrate etc. But it isn&#x27;t good to say that so I need to invent an excuse.<p>My last job was similar and I really dislike it because it can only be bad for the programmer. Especially given how hard it is to estimate stuff.<p>Btw this is product dev work not billed out to client work. Those jobs I purposely avoid.
Ask HN: How many of you have to log hours?
