I'm used to keeping track of every 15 minute segment of my day, at former jobs. But currently, I'm not expected to do that while working from home, but at the same time my manager wants an update every day on what I've been doing. I'd rather be monitored constantly or make a chronological log than have to engage in basically a marketing exercise every day. I did have a salaried position once where we absolutely had to punch a time clock (and quite a few people grumbled because of the class implication) but there was almost no monitoring on a daily basis. Except you weren't supposed to fall asleep.

  I am not strictly speaking a developer nor do I work in a department that has developers. The weekly meeting with my manager is called a "touch base" but a daily email summary is also required, only since working from home. Friday we had a "scrum" meeting regarding COVID-19 related work, so I guess the PMs are appropriating agile terms kind of like Wall Street bros like war metaphors.
