A lawyer’s social media post claiming that a Gen Z intern refused a 9 a.m. court duty because of a gym schedule is sparking debate online. The lawyer says the intern initially indicated he could not attend, citing his gym plans.
According to the post, the intern later agrees to handle the duty as a one-time exception. The same account, shared by NDTV, frames the incident as a matter of punctuality and professional responsibility, but the report does not include additional commentary or confirmation from the court or other parties. The public discussion focuses on how work and court obligations should be balanced against personal schedules, especially for younger workers, though the underlying incident remains based on the lawyer’s account.
