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.
