'I started using the timer for everything': Micromanaging boss accuses employee of "cheating the company"

As if this person didn't have enough to do already, their boss started requiring some detailed daily logs from his employee. 

Micromanager bosses are difficult to work for. Instead of just doing the job you were hired to do, you also have to manage your boss's emotions. Some days your boss will assume you're not doing any work, and will flip out over nothing. Other days, they'll praise you for working so hard. And lots of bosses demand you write out intricate logs of your day. Will they ever read these logs? Of course not. It's just a way to waste the employee's time while making them feel like they're under a microscope.
