Team members hide actual time spent on tasks to avoid looking unproductive

Workers are reluctant to log honest hours in time tracking systems due to surveillance concerns and fear of performance metrics. They either avoid logging entirely or backfill estimates, making actual project profitability and capacity planning impossible for managers. Existing time trackers (Toggl, Harvest, Clockify) dont address the trust and cultural issues underlying resistance.
