Corporate agency demands more detailed timesheets, worker charges all their bureaucratic tasks, gets time off as a result: 'They freaked out'

Dealing with needless paperwork and bureaucratic annoyances is just a part of working for an organization. Chances are the larger the organization, the more they're going to have a strong attachment to arduous processes and ever-increasing stacks of paperwork. There are other factors, too; depending on how controlling and pedantic each manager up the chain of command is, you might end up with more or less paperwork than the expected amount for your organization. If the biggest baddest boss loves process, you bet you'll be drowning in oceans of red tape.

Whatever the requirements of your specific organization, one rule will always hold true: The amount of paperwork you have to complete associated with your job will only ever increase, never decrease, ensuring that each task associated with your role only takes longer and requires more unproductive time and effort. This paperwork will increase in perpetuity until the entire organization eventually folds in on itself and another emerges… Thus completing the circle of life.
