I consider it borderline unethical to allocate other people's time. I prefer the idea that each person manage their time however they see fit, as long as its not causing issues for the rest of the team.
You're contrasting this with a more ideal solution. Our company doesn't allocate people's time, so something like this would be regression, but it seems like there are orgs that are much more strict about this, in which case I think this provides a lot of freedom that wasn't once there. It's a matter of where you're coming from.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
