'This seems petty': Horrible boss demands their salaried employee make up 8 minutes of lateness

Pick and choose your battles, dude! Obviously, many factors contribute to lateness, and unless the employee was late to a big meeting/event, the standard is to ignore it and not make a big deal. The employee in question also made a point to acknowledge that they are never late, so it's not like it's a pattern and it's not like it has had any major effect on the work itself. It was also only 8 minutes! So, what is the conclusion to be made here? This horrible boss is petty, out of line, and an all-around buzzkill. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/skidude15, and it began a spirited discussion in the comments section about what the Redditor should do next. If there was one thing that united the discussion, it was that this kind of micromanaging is wildly unproductive and a waste of time (dare I say, 8 minutes) and deserves to be met with the same kind of petty response. Keep scrolling below to see what these suggestions were! For more stories about bad bosses, take a look at this post, which involves an employee's Thanksgiving leave.
