Don't work for 70h/week

Yup, those who devote themselves to work inevitably do a disservice to their loved ones. That’s why balance is must

❌ rich dad poor dad ✅ bonus dad real dad

Man wants everyone to work 70 hrs a week only because that's the only way the Infosys model of cheap labour and dollar arbitrage works.

Lulz 😜 it’s a trade off .. between family and career .. working 70hrs/week nothing to be proud of

Sugar daddy is for losers. Bonus daddy is for winners.

Absolutely boggles my mind how a whole generation is triggered by an out of context comment when it doesn’t even apply to them. It’s a trade off. If you value success more, invest that time in work. If you don’t, invest time in things you value. Unfortunately people want the riches without putting in the work. And end up resenting successful people who did put in the work cos it reflects poorly on their own choices. Often assuming they somehow cheated the system. Cf today’s USA. Also, if you let artists define your meaning/fulfillment of life, you will always be angry and sad. It requires introspection not just mimesis to look cool among your peers.

Murthy- If you work 70hrs a week for the next few years, may be I will be able to afford the latest Rolls Royce or Ferrari". Absolutely detest this man and the company to the core. I worked for a year and they basically never paid my PF. That is how they become Billion Dollar company. May be the amount wasn't big, but at that time, it was a lot of money for me and my family. The culture that was there in the company was simply poisonous and I have never seen any employee come and speak positively about Infosys. Absolute trash!

This is wrong on so many levels 🤭

Let’s hear from NRN on this book ;)

This totally depends. Many army soldiers kids wouldn’t get chance to see their father and they are still okay with it. So if someone wants to pursue their career over family it should be their call. We are no one to judge here.

I feel like in general, to make his upcoming blood line experience a good life, one must sacrifice his own. For example if I work hard, make more money and make crores by the time of retirement, my children would be living a happy life growing up, but I would have aged, bored of life, probably confused on which asset to invest so that when my children grow they will have much more money.

NRN hearing: everyone should work 100hrs a week. ;_;

I don't think OP needed to make this post. People here are well informed about the 70 hour week gimmic

LOL!! See this is what happens when any person does anything too extreme. Things have to be balanced in all ways and from all sides. Poor billionaires have sick home culture or bad health. God bless all with happiness and not a boss who asks to work for 70 hours/week. 😬🥳🥳🙏🙏

You wouldn't be reading a book about Akshata if Narayan Murthy hadn't worked for 70 hrs a week. It's ok for him to work as much as he wants, just like it's ok for you to work as much as you want. He shouldn't crib for his family life and you should not crib about not making as much money. Decisions have consequences. Black and white decisions have more prominent consequences.

🤣🤣🤣

Loved this

She got >$15M just as dividends for her Infosys shares in 2023; the net worth of those shares must be over a few hundred million. Also, I am not sure, but being a Murthy must have impacted her journey up to the PM's wife of the UK, even slightly. Take this in a positive way please, I mean being able to afford quality education & exposure etc. So, I guess there are trade-offs that seem trivial in hindsight. There is no nobility in being poor.
