While I agree that people can be irresponsible, I'd say this reveals more about the manager than the IC. The manager is responsible for tracking everyone's workload and with a project management software, you can get a quick overview without daily status update. Some tasks can take days of research and it gets annoying quickly to recapitulate what you've been doing, especially if you've done so already elsewhere. And some days, you're less productive than usual, but that may be the calm period needed to get a solution.
