I think this is wrong but at the same time I don't blame this person for doing this. Companies gamify on their side as well. They make roles very ambiguous and leave a lot of room so that effectively you're always working. They shift the responsibilities all the time moving people from team to team. The excuse is always that the employee should be "adding value" to the company, which is true but it is also vague and creates a situation where you never know when you're done or where the line is where you can push back. Personally I have moved away and avoid these companies but they are the standard in the software industry.
