Gen Z employee vs HR: Employee asked to join work meeting 15 minutes before shift time. He found a clever way to change the rules

David James shared a humorous workplace exchange about a Gen Z employee asked to attend mandatory 8:45 a.m. meetings despite a 9 a.m. shift. Instead of complaining, he documented the extra 15 minutes and later added them to his timesheet. After challenging HR over whether the meetings counted as work, management moved the check-in to 9 a.m. The employee then arrived at 8:59 and joined exactly on time.
