What’s the point of writing daily and weekly reports?

Who exactly came up with this whole “daily report + weekly report + weekly update package” thing? i people already have enough work stress, and they still have to write this nonsense literature.

When you’re busy: “I’ll write the daily report as soon as I finish my work.” Then five minutes before quitting time, you’re frantically making things up.
When you’re free: “Today’s work: breathe 300 times + blink 200 times + mess around for 8 hours.”

Tomorrow’s plan: “If I knew what I’d be doing tomorrow, I’d go get my fortune told, okay?”

The most suffocating part is the weekly reporting meeting.
Everyone takes turns performing “I’m so busy.” The leadership clearly knows what everyone’s doing, yet they still pretend to listen seriously.

So what’s the purpose of this whole process? To test whose nonsense writing can win a Nobel Prize?

Real work content vs reporting content.
Reporting version: “Continuously optimize processes, steadily advance the project, and achieve closed-loop management” (the three-piece set leaders love most).
Actual version:
10:00–11:30 Thinking about what to eat for lunch
14:00–15:00 Researching where to go and have fun on the weekend
16:30–17:29 Waiting to get off work

The point of daily and weekly reports is probably just to teach us how to turn an 8-hour shift into an 80-hour result by writing… that kind of stuff.
