Do executives need to punch in at work?

A small software company has a new technical manager, Zhang Sheng. The arrival of Zhang Sheng improved the company's technical strength, but after Zhang Sheng's arrival, it triggered a debate: the problem of attendance and punching. This company has always implemented the system of full attendance and punching, while Zhang Sheng's previous company implemented "punching for grass-roots employees, and punching for middle and high-level personnel is free". Therefore, after Zhang Sheng came, he repeatedly raised at the meeting whether it was possible to exempt middle and high-level personnel from punching in. The reason is that "as middle and high-level personnel, they already have a high degree of discipline and self-consciousness, and exempting punching is an recognition of their quality." In addition, Zhang Sheng also talked about the high efficiency of his work at night. In order to ensure the completion of the project, he often works overtime at night, which may lead to being late the next day, which should be understood. Zhang sheng's statement is also reasonable, but if only senior officials are allowed to avoid punching cards, it will inevitably cause complaints from some old employees. If executives are strictly required to punch in, it may affect their enthusiasm for work. So, do executives need to punch in? Tell me your opinion.
