Current Date is being displayed when date is null
In my Laravel project:
@foreach($employees as $key => $employee)
<td>
{{$key+1}}
</td>
<td>
{{Carbon\Carbon::parse($employee->employment_date)->format('d-m-Y') ?? '' }}
</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
I observed that the application displayed current date (today's date) whenever the date is null.
Why is it so and how do I correct that?

public DateTime::__construct ([ string $time = "now" [, DateTimeZone $timezone = NULL ]] )
Constructor has default value which is now, new DateTime() is the same as new DateTime('now')

{{ optional($employee->employment_date)->format('d-m-Y') }}
