Wow, that would definitely trigger my neurosis into a full-blown nervous breakdown. Does reading e-mail count as "working"? Does configuring environment variables and adding printers count as "working"? Does reading documentation count as "working"?

I am a freelancer but fortunately I don't use such platforms so I can't answer your questions specifically.

But, there's a lot of talk about it online. Google for "upwork time tracking" and similar queries and you'll find heaps of people complaining. Upwork is just 1 marketplace that has apps like that.
