I would absolutely trash my subordinates for pulling that shit.
It’s not even about their health or whatever, it’s just straight up illegal and I could get in so much trouble for allowing it or not putting an end to it. Also because it’s dumb, don’t do that.
In my jurisdiction and industry, 24 hour or even the 32 hour shift he was aiming for would be legal, and his fixed salary wouldn’t even pay him any differently for the overage.
So in this case, he had no legal or business obligation to intervene and especially not to drive him home. So sad as it is, it was truly above and beyond by the standards here.
By far that colleague was the biggest workaholic I’ve ever seen, distant second place going to a guy that would routinely stay 2 hours late. Thankfully most people cut things at 40 hours or less, except maybe once or twice a year due some business emergency.
