Is showing up late to work with an excuse of having stayed late, a valid enough reason for an employee to not get into trouble? Apparently, Not.

Internet sided with the GenZ employee

Maybe he's trying to make sure he's as productive as possible without burning out. Younger employees sometimes bring a refreshing perspective on how to maintain efficiency without compromising their well-being!

Our profession has made this toxic exploitation the norm and widely accepted. However, there is nothing wrong in what your junior is expecting. You pay him for the hours he puts in, not for the draft. If his hours don't qualify as good enough, then YOU hired the wrong junior.
