What about updates and trackers for senior client stakeholders they don’t understand are going to prevent you from doing the actual work they are paying you to do?

Updates for partners is client work. It may not be productive all the time, but it is still client work

Some teams I've been on literally could have produced 20% more analysis/content for the client if we weren't doing twice-weekly status updates. It's their money, they should spend it how they want I guess...
