This isn’t a comment about clocks at all. You’re talking about being free from office culture and sticking the word “clock” in there.
If anything, clocks liberate hours from employers. I’m pretty sure that absent clocks (and legal restrictions to the contrary), employers would demand work from sunrise to sunset because that’s what they could measure.

This is a really stretched metaphor. This is like saying clocks kill is because “time catches up with us all”.
- aiisjustanif 5y agoIf you say so, I’m looking at the clock in a lot of these situations.

- xboxnolifes 5y agoA clock could not exist at all, and not having a 1 hour commute would still be favorable. Resisting the waste of valuable time? Sure. Resisting the clock? I'd say it's the exact opposite. We are eyeing the clock every moment and realizing how much time we're wasting on idiotic things.
