Recently the CHRO of my company called me into a discussion on improving WORK LIFE BALANCE. Wow. I just cannot understand. Look at this.
Wtf is this crap?
What do I gain from working more? Does my salary go up? Or my health?
Does it make my family happier?
NO
It just makes the Csuite and the shareholders richer.
I'm happy to work longer if companies are willing to pay overtime. But as soon as I mention overtime you all behave like I asked for your first born.
Ah so you have little idea of how industries work
There are multiple companies other than retail that work 6-7 days - banking services, security, medical obviously, even fashion (non retail)
Also the idea that you get 52 weeks of no work is aspirational. People in advertising, consulting are working 5 days from office and 2 days at home
The annual leaves, the bosses hardly approve them, and if they so you come back to piles of work loaded
Work life balance is much needed.
Narayana Murthy didn't ask people to work 70 hours for Infosys. He mentioned as generic terms, for youngsters who should create for India, startups in basic terms
U r not saying it right. No one can make u work 7 days a week. If any company is doing that then immediately leave that exploitative company. Yes of course if there is a task I still work 15 days in a trot.
You can work 7 days a week if its your own startup
Lala spotted. Deliberately exaggerating numbers to make your perspective look valid
Most companies work 5 days a week - I would say most work 6 days a week. I could also say that most employees are made to work beyond the regular working hours in a day so 5 days a week is definitely off.
30 days annual leave - Who tf lets people take 30 leaves in a year without deducting pay? Do you let them? Most companies are closer to 18 leaves IMO.
And in a hybrid format even more - So you think people don't do any work in hybrid?
It's easy to ask employees to work more if you're making money out of it without paying them. Pay them on an hourly basis and you'll begin asking them to work less hours, lmao.
Anybody who wants to work 60-80 hours a week will do it for themselves and not for you. Corporates, lalas and founders should be grateful for low motivation inactive people, who end up working for them because these leaders in these companies on their own do absolutely no value-adding work
I worked mostly for other and worked for 60 to 80 hours a week during the start up stages. But not any more. It made me strong. And I have a built my own reputation. If u have a fairly good job u r part of the lucky ones. Stay blessed. Best wishes.
When I see someone work less number of hours than me and see them doing better work than me, that is when I get inspired. When I see someone slogging for 12 hours and giving an output that would have taken me 2 hours, I think I should get rid of this person and do it myself.
Luck is extremely weird in these things, where it only happens to people who have put in years of calculated effort into getting better than their previous selves to do something in a fraction of time.
If you are a founder, I pity your employees
Good one. I worked for companies. All my life. But 7 years as a founder. People who worked with me have done very well in life. Still great friends now almost like family. Don’t be so bitter. Spread hope and cheer.
So basically the title. European countries like are flirting with the idea of 4 days work week and here at India we have people like Narayan Murthy who is suggesting youngsters to work for 70 hours per week and many people are supporting...
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?
🚀 + To the moon, startups want your life 6 days a week and liver etc and pay 🥜

Just wanted to move away from the usual negative feedback’s and reviews that people post here to try and see if there’s any good as well.
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?
Total disconnect... most of us do not work 40Hrs a week -every week.. sometimes its 60hrs some times its 20.. but the...
