I think he means that employee is telling the manager that the employee is tracking his <i>own</i> time, thus, when the manager requests work to be done, the manager will take a resource-oriented approach to the employee&#x27;s time and focus. It might make the manager more conscious about this often subtle detail (time is money) and they will likely feel more restricted when it comes to managing the employee, instead of being empowered. This is good for curbing micromanagement.
