Employee’s Excuse for Arriving Late After Working Late Sparks Debate on Social Media
A manager was left “speechless” following a GenZ employee’s unconventional reason for arriving late.
“Hi Sir & Ma’am I will be coming tomorrow at 11.30 am Because I am currently leaving office at 8.30 pm,” informs an employee about his reason for coming late.
The incident concerning a young employee’s delayed arrival at work has sparked an engaging debate on social media. The employee, who had worked late the previous evening, attributed their lateness to this circumstance. This situation, brought to light by advocate Ayushi Doshi on X, has led to divided opinions among users.
“I can’t believe my junior sent me this. Today’s kids are something else. He stayed late, so now he’s going to show up late to the office to “make up” for it. What a move. I am speechless mahn,” says Doshi.
A significant number of internet users have expressed support for the employee, contending that working late should not result in additional delays. Conversely, some hold a differing view, asserting that maintaining punctuality is crucial, irrespective of previous obligations.
A user said, “Why the heck did you let him/her work till 8:30 pm, grandma?”. “Liked his confidence, he must be good at his work,” says another user.
“To everyone commenting, let me clarify the situation. He was given a 3 deadline to complete a task that usually requires at least one full day of work. His working hours were from 10 AM to 7 PM, but if he wasn’t able to finish within that time frame, he had to put in an barely 1.5 hours to complete the task. The issue is that he’s losing valuable time by being on his phone instead of staying focused on the work. When there’s a deadline to meet, sometimes a bit of extra time is necessary to get everything done,” says Doshi in another tweet.
