It depends is usually a kind of lame answer, but... it depends. Yes, generally speaking since I tend to work with a fairly low level of supervision, my manager wants to know what I've been up to. And what I'd like to do, and what the rough spots were, and where I might be able to benefit from help. All good things to have journaled!
