This is a classic one-two combo of getting people to basically work a ton for free. You stress them out and starve them for work on one end, but keep strict expectations regarding minimum quotas on the other.
How the fuck am I supposed to log all the hours they require out of thin air
The part you're missing, and rightfully so, is the part where you "take the initiative" or "go drum up more business" or "put on your productivity hat" or whatever. It's that "extra" that they will try and jam in there. It's never enough to just do the job and be done. This is basically PMC hell.
The result is you get employees that either (1) put in tons of unpaid labor just to generate the appearance of a full day's work or (2) lie to the economic benefit of the employer by inflating your time. They get the benefit of you lying without any of the blowback if it is discovered.
