To be fed up of having to justify my existence??

My line manager is obsessed with matrix, timings and justifying mine and his existence. We're a small team, there's me him and his manager. He expects me to document every single minute of my day and work out what percentage of my time I'm working on what. No other team in the company works that way, they just get on with whatever job they've been given. We see the owner of the company regularly and he doesn't care about justifying ourselves. If he can see the job is being done he's happy.

I can't work this way. It stresses me out so much! Every morning he asks me for percentages and it's draining and stressful. We have a daily meeting where I have to tell him exactly what I've done the day before and how long it took to do each task.

AIBU to think this is too much and to be fed up of having to justify my existence when nobody else has to?

That's interesting OP. In that case I'd agree with just micromanaging twat!

I think you should ask him who this info is for.www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3134513-To-be-fed-up-of-having-to-justify-my-existence?pg=2
Tell him you would like him to call a meeting with the manager, so you can discuss just how in depth this info needs to be.
Also tell him if he needs this done you would like him to employ a time management specialist to follow you around, as your unsure as the info you have given him is taking longer to compile than the job your doing. so it's doubling the cost of the job.
