I'm not against status updates, it's the tracking and clocking in and out like a 1920's factory worker inside my own home that I find objectionable. Even in an office proper, this kind of tracking is a fundamental breach of trust and causes a serious imbalance of power.
I also find framing this kind of thing as somehow benefiting an employee to be so duplicitous I think it is malicious.

As an associate product manager working remotely I would want to know if a certain software engineer has checked in for the day so that I can ask him for an update. I personally would not want to disturb him when he's off the clock. Again, its not about not trusting employees but creating a sense of transparency and closeness in a team
