Ask HN: Working with clients who ask for TimeDoctor?

1 pointsby simplegeekover 7 years ago
Will you work with a client who insists you install TimeDoctor on your machine(a software that monitors your activity, logs time, takes screen shot etc)?<p>And:<p>- It takes screen shot of your screen randomly and stores them. Also, you cannot delete any of those screen shots.<p>- If your screen remains idle for 5 minutes, it stops logging time (even if you tell it to log time for a meeting)?<p>- At the end of the month, the client does a meeting with you. He sends you screen shots and ask for explanation e.g. why were you using that website? Why were you email XYZ? Et cetera.

1. that rate would have to reflect it.<p>2. any issues and&#x2F;or reservations I would bring up with the client.<p>3. Also, is there a detailed set of tasks&#x2F;plan?<p>4. Any kind of &quot;thinking&quot;, researching etc. tasks would need to be worked out ahead of time
