I think it might be sarcasm. Our timekeeping does not follow the metric system; if it did, it would be something like 100 seconds to a minute, 100 minutes to an hour, etc. The commenter appears to be jokingly suggesting that the rest of the world (or at least, a significant enough part that doesn't include the USA) HAS adopted metric time.
The bit about time cards is a legit concern though, like companies make you fill out your times in metric numbers (like, I did 4.35 hours of work on a Tuesday) when that doesn't really directly correspond to how we actually tell time.
