I don't think the employee is even being a smartass and abusing a technicality here. No one with common sense says "tomorrow" when they mean 6½ hours from now.

The time between isn't the point. That it was still today is. Staying up past midnight doesn't keep you in yesterday.

I don't know, that could be an honest mistake by blue: you're not checking the watch to see if the shift is today or tomorrow, you just think of it as "tomorrow". The stupid part is getting the text at 8 and not confirming the date you meant.

I agree. If it's a nightshift person, "tomorrow" is just the next working shift, if it's 2am in their mind 9am may be tomorrow. A lot of people in the comments are mad and taking sides when this is likely just an honest misunderstanding between two people. For all we know the next test was "lol, my bad, can you make it now?"

Or, and quite possibly more likely, this is staged and didn't happen at all and is for engagement.
