    It’s a gross perspective this person must have to say this with a straight face. The reasoning really shows how out of touch with the harsh reality many people live in.

    We should be striving for more free time, and life enjoyment.

    Tewari further said that he works even on Sundays and doesn’t even remember when he last took off on the weekend.

    Yes, it’s visible. In your face.

      People like this cunt, and the Elon Musk cunt, and the Steve Jobs cunt and my old boss who was a cunt will pull 14 hour days 7 days a week for 10 years and call you lazy for not doing it.

      We should be allowed to say no and have a different opinion.

        will pull 14 hour days 7 days a week for 10 years

        I mean, sure, they will, but they also spend half of that time socialising, posting on Twitter, going to the gym and generally living life while claiming to be on the clock. Their “70 hours a week” have nothing to do with the “70 hours a week” of an actual working person.

    That’s amazing. Just think about all that needful that will get done and shipped overseas.

    to compete with leading economies.

    …most of whom work 36-40 hour weeks or less with two days off and a lot more leave

    Doing the wrong thing harder won’t lift you up, sweetheart

      India wants its china/korea/japan moment where its economy rapidly grows. The problem is that rapid economy growth down the line has a drastic effect on population growth down the line.

    I worked 70-90 hour weeks for 3 years. I was basically a zombie, never saw friends or family, any downtime I had was purely for rest. I eventually snapped, moved halfway across the country and took a job for significantly less pay but half the hours and I’m much happier now.

    Burning out your entire workforce is a fantastic idea /s

    I’d be down for this if this also applied to all the CEOs and executives.

    In fact, let’s make them come back to the office too - and make it mandatory that they have to be in their office working for ~12 hours a day 6 days a week with a 1 hour lunch break.

        Woah, you wanna let a whole day go by?! Every 6 hours I need an email status update. But, if you forget to send an email, I know you’re not doing good work. Then, at the end of the day I can ask you in person about the contents of your emails that I didn’t read.
