I used to have a manager like that...

One time he came in a bit early and commented how early everyone else was getting in (like 15 minutes or so). Then a colleague said that actually, he never left from the day before. Note he was exempt from overtime, so no budget issues.

Anyway, so my job that morning was to follow my boss driving my colleague's car to my colleague's house (didn't trust his driving after that much awake time) and driving the manager back. The manager also took the guys badge and said he would drop off the badge in two days and the guy needed to take time for himself.

Pretty sure every manager since that one wouldn't have given a damn.

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 justification 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.
