Last time we used to have different pantry for perm staff and intern. But the younger gen pointed out that this is some kind of discrimination, so my HR say ok lah, open for all. So now the temp staff buat hal, all perm staff marah the younger gen for suggesting the idea of pantry for all lol.

Just morning rant.

My company usually take in interns from various university for various post. All of them are pursuing degree from local University. Now I have 4 engineering interns, 2 man and 2 women. I noticed that they have this kind of attitude, do as they wish. They came in as they wish, and clock out as they wish too. My company have this policy where u can clock in between 8-9am, and then u just clock out accordingly after 9 hours (8 hours working + 1 hour rest). From my point of view, we gave leeway already on being flexible on your working time.

However these interns came in almost 10, at least once a week. So my HR did an investigation and call those that have this problem. Their reason for being late? Simply overslept. Cant brain someone who went to university to overslept. I mean, they usually have class at 8am or 9am, they did their study for 4 years, and by this time they are not accustomed to waking up early? Don't they have to wake up early to pray also? I am not a muslim, yet I woke up when there is Azan because that is the way we are raised. Azan mean its beginning of the day. And this is not special case. Last year I had few interns with the same attitude, and some of my engineers also have this problem, especially fresh grad. Never in my life I was late to work due to overslept, even in my youth days where I partied until 3am, reached home and slept, and still manage to clock in at 8.30am.

I guess kids nowadays dont have that sense of responsibility and integrity.

Sekian rant untuk hari ini.

Ayam gen z and do the same
ok, genz with eMas7

But if I clock in late I definitely do more and clock out later than I should’ve even after making up for the time that I’m late
no need lah, in Penang MNC depend on the type of work, can just clock in show face to HR and have meeting, do some work. then leave early to avoid traffic jam and continue WFH after that as what you said below


Just don’t like the rigidity, no actual point most of the time.

Millenials are ppl born between mid 1980s to mid 1990s

what we need to be aware of is this gen after the z, the Alphas

There’s one category that’s often overlooked by society — the Cusper Generations. These are people born on the edge of two generations, often called “cuspers.” They tend to carry traits from both sides — the one before and the one after.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

**Cusper Name**	**Birth Years**	**Current Age (2025)**	**Between**
------------------------------- -	------------------	----------------------------	--------------------------------
**Silents–Boomers Cusp**	1943–1949	76–82 years old	Silent Generation ↔ Baby Boomers
**Generation Jones**	1955–1965	60–70 years old	Baby Boomers ↔ Gen X
**Xennials**	1977–1983	42–48 years old	Gen X ↔ Millennials
**Zillennials**	1992–1998	27–33 years old	Millennials ↔ Gen Z
**Zoomers–Alphas Cusp**	2010–2015	10–15 years old	Gen Z ↔ Gen Alpha

From what I’ve observed so far, these cuspers are highly adaptive — they’re fluid like water. They blend in. They shift. They adjust. They can relate to the generation before them and connect easily with the one that comes after.

It’s like they’re made for in-between spaces — not fully one, not fully the other, but capable of understanding both.

Ayam gen z and do the same
But depends on industry la, as long as I get my work done don’t kacau me can dy, just judge me based on the results
But depends whether can really do work, for me only excusable if your work is good. If work is like shit and do this then it’s unacceptable.

But if I clock in late I definitely do more and clock out later than I should’ve even after making up for the time that I’m late
And I don’t mind doing work off hours, I often do and respond to emails and messages in the middle of the night to other region teams etc
Just don’t like the rigidity, no actual point most of the time. I know some ppl work better under rigid structure but not me

its a gen z issue. the good news is that we no longer need to worry having upcoming competition to kick us out of mid-senior mgmt level.

Every workplace have their rules. If u CHOOSE to work there, u have already agreed to follow the rules. Example rules say u have to come on monday to friday 8am-5pm, then come. Dont say like oh today no work because my machine is down and i cant do anythg without it, so i dont have to come etc.

U dont like the rigidity of that company and feel its pointless and doesnt suit you, then dont choose to work there. Dont work there than make your own rules and blame the company.

Gen alpha then lulz

also more like TS is old school.

of course, this depend on type of work.


Read post #11. My company have flexible working hours, as long as they complete 9hours. The problem is intern masuk suka-suka, balik suka-suka.
