There must be some kinda way out of here, said the Joker to the Thief.

Let's ask Modi ji to make this a law. Everyone should work 84 hours per week. All of us have wasted too much time in the last 10 years already.

Recently the CHRO of my company called me into a discussion on improving WORK LIFE BALANCE. Wow. I just cannot understand. Look at this. 1. Most companies work 5 days a week. (Except retail operations). So you get 52 weeks x 2. 104 days. 2. 30 days annual leav 3. 9 days statutory holidays. 4. Operational holidays. 3. 145 days of 365 days corporate people don’t come to office. And in a hybrid format even more. It is these corporate vultures who want work life Balance. How can u balance your life if u r unable to do it in 145 days. So Narayana murthy is right - work hard like 80% of india. Who have almost no weekly off. Just saying.

Had nowhere to write about this but I feel so angered. Young people should work 70 HOURS? IN A WEEK? For what? Why is there 70 hours worth of work to do? You pay consultancy firms and good for nothing managers to optimise things and make it more efficient, no? Why can't you make sure work happens within the 40-50 hours? Or readjust deadlines and expectations at least? The employees allow you to bring in more profits, no? Hire more people - let them spread the workload. Give them more time off. Let them use the 40-50 hours they're already putting in more effectively instead of pressuring them to put more hours? A skilled potter takes less time to make a pot than an idiot trying it for the first time. Does that mean the idiot is more hard working? What is your logic in saying that Indians need to put in more hours to compete with the world? Put more money into your employees no? An extremely bright engineering friend of mine was given a <3 LPA offer from Infosys. That kind of amount is a rounding error for any single client order and you're playing games with someone's livelihood? Shame on you.

How many of you actually only work 9-5? Do you get paid for overtime? Is Indian corporate culture disconnected from the 40-hour workweek belief?
