Work like a Donkey till 2047

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

Chant Narayan Narayan and work hard. 70 hour work week bhakts are sprouting all over.

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.

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?

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.

How many companies still have 6 days working? I am in robotics/manufacturing in MSME, I have a 6 day Workweek, is it a general trend in manufacturing or general trend in MSME?

I'll go first - Shut laptop, get in comfy clothes and watch Amar Singh Chamkila! Imtiaz Ali after 4 years!!

This advice was given to me by someone who has worked for 20+ years in IT. "The reward for work done is always more work." So always manage you time properly here. If you keep working hard then you will be exploited by your manager. He will always take credit for your work. You will do the work but it will be presented by a dumb senior to the client. So your strategy should be: Always complete your work on the weekend. Then every day you need to reveal work done slowly. Monday to Friday. This way you will chill during the entire week. People will think you do work but in reality you are coasting and chilling. Use this time to upskill and interview for other companies. Then get out of IT and go to a Product company.
