I work for US client but I’m residing outside the US. I manage their Shopify store. My job is upload new products, post them also on Etsy and eBay, and make sure title, tags, and SEO are correct. I work remote full time, Monday to Friday.
Before, I send small report at end of each day. Just short message like “added 15 products, synced to eBay, fixed homepage layout issue.” Very simple. Everything was okay.
Then one day, client message me. They say,
"Can you make reports more detailed? Please include everything you do during your shift."
Okay. You want everything? I give everything.
Next day, I write full report from start to end. I include everything I do. Open Shopify. Check stock. Edit one word in product title. Refresh Slack. No message. Adjust image size because it look weird on mobile. Sync to Etsy. Fix small typo in description. Change tag from “minimalist” to “modern minimalist.”
I also include when I stand up to drink water. When I go bathroom. I even write what I cook for lunch.
At 12:35 PM, I boiled egg and fried rice with leftover chicken. Took 25 minutes including eating and cleaning plate.
At end of shift, report is almost two full pages. Look like I’m writing blog.
Client no reply that day. Next day, also nothing.
Two days later, they send one line only.
"Okay, you can go back to old report format."
No problem boss.
