Quiet quitters don’t abandon ship. They don’t complain loudly. Instead these employees gently pull-back, and your business stops benefitting from their entire focus, energy and brilliance.

You’ve heard it said over and over again that time is money. The reason that’s such an often repeated cliche is that it’s actually true. The time you and your team spend on projects and various activities throughout the office correlates directly with your profits. And time logs are a perfect way to organize it.
