Is being asked to text my boss everyday stupid?

[Essential1]

I got a promotion at work It's only been two days but the added workload including handling the rota/wages and the fact that this one person at my job isn't showing me respect even though I'm in charge is bothering me. Maybe I just need to get used to it. One thing I don't like is that the I've been told I need to text message the company boss every night I finish to let him know that the shift went well and also text him when it did not and THEN call him the next morning to go into details. Texting him when everything was ok seems over the top. I was told this by his main office girl, because when she is working nightclubs I assume she has to do this.

If you're management, it's not unusual.

Yeah, it's pretty stupid, but I dunno much about management, from what I gather, the higher up in the company you are the crazier and crazier you are.

I'm just supervising a team of 5.

It's a little weird to a degree but I imagine that as time goes on, this might loosen up. Some people like to be kept in the loop more than others.

Why wouldn't you want to tell your boss everything went well, you'll learn to appreciate that part of management

About 10 years ago , I worked a job where I surveyed retail stores ( check the merchandise if it was displayed according to corporate specs) , i didnt see my boss everyday, maybe once a week - But I had to call to check in everyday, and everyday he would answer the phone as if he didnt recognize the number - everyday I would say hey its me Homer ( not my real name) Im in the store - and he would sound a bit surprised that I called him, as if he wasnt expecting it- literally this was the same conversation for 2 years. He was a great boss otherwise , but had some odd quirks

I don't like too much contact just like to get the job done and go home.

That's not too unusual, especially if it's a new gig.
