oop just feeding myself a little reward as a treat, don't mind me, just gotta waste some electricity on this
Honestly, it's fucking relatable. A place I worked used to round the time clock to the nearest quarter hour so I would dick around a minute or two so it rolled up instead of down.
A friend of mine has their large corporate company telling everyone they have to show up to one of their offices on at least two days each week. Now a few people just walk there at 2355, clock out at 0005, and spend the rest of the week at home.
Silly conditions -> silly behaviors
Malicious compliance is the best form of compliance.
The place I work at now rounds by quarter hours so if you punch in early at 8:53 it's the same pay as punching in late at 9:07. Guess who has never been early to punch in but has been late quite a few..
