Requiring your employees to clock in at exactly their scheduled start time each day is guaranteed to add some extra stress into their lives. It's not as if most employees are trying to be late. Most of them are stuck in traffic or caught on a train that won't move. They rush into work as fast as they can—they might even sprint to make it!—but if they're even two or five minutes late, their boss is still going to be annoyed. All that rushing around to try to make it on time, and the boss still isn't happy? It can really lower morale over time when management decides that this is the hill they want to die on. Instead of appreciating all the hard work their employees do 8 hours per day, they'd rather make a big fuss over two "missing" minutes of work.
This person's boss kept doing exactly that, as u/afazihdob explained in their story of malicious compliance. At least the employee managed to get back at that boss, teaching them an important lesson.
