Billionaires were a mistake. ¯(ツ)_/¯

I regret to inform you that a billionaire stole your arm to help pay for their next mansion / yacht / social media site.

That would've been so much funnier if you'd used the backslash.

AGAIN???

What this guy fundamentally fails to understand is that countries go from low gdp to high gdp not by producing more exports but rather by getting domestic consumption up. Time off is required for domestic consumption to happen. Henry Ford didn't give his workers time off for their benefit, he did it so they would buy cars.

People had to fight and die for an 8 hour work day and 5 day work week. You'd better be willing to fight again, cuz they're coming for that.

Woohoo, that's my boss! Explains a lot about the company.
Fun fact: we had to "return to office" last year. I had to move away from all my friends to a red state. Come to find out, there's practically nobody in the office either. All of our work is done over zoom. It was just a "quiet layoff", but I couldn't find another job in time to quit.

See, that study that suggested 4 day work weeks increase productivity (and that a majority of companies kept after the trial) apparently lacked the ever so important control group of working 7 days a week and for extra hours per day. I'm sure that really increases productivity.
While we're at it, no remote days and everyone work in an open office with no cubicles or walls to block noise, and certainly no distracting windows.

Murthy claimed he himself worked six and a half days a week until retirement, typically 14 hours and 10 minutes a day, clocking on at 6:20 AM before downing tools at 8:30 PM.
What a fucking slacker wasting ~66 hours per week that he could have been GRINDING. Pathetic.

I’d like to see this fuckstick standing on his feet all day, and asking his supervisor for permission to pee. Then we’ll see how he feels about eliminating weekends.
-
My boss told me I couldn’t go to the bathroom whenever I needed to. I told him next time he tells me that I’m gonna shit on the floor. Nothing since.

Like all other people, I believe he should lead by example so others can easily follow his work.

Infosys itself is a scam company. They literally train their "consultants" to absurdly mark up the cost of things that could be done by 1 mediocre software graduate in a month. I have seen a simple project being worked on by a team of 8, and they milked that cow for at least 2 years.
All they need is some idiot non-engineer in the company they are targeting. If your government is using Infosys, know that your tax is being sunk into a pointless hole.

Hey, Narayama Murthy, go fuck yourself.

“I was not very happy with that. I think in this country, we have to work very hard because there is no substitute for hard work even if you're the most intelligent guy,”
Dude... If you work hard despite the fact that you claim to be intelligent... You are not intelligent.
Work smart, not hard. The smart thing is to take breaks so that you can focus on what you are doing. Not working till you drop.
Guarantee he's one of those rich pricks who count flying on a plane as "work". But he will work the dogshit out of his employees.
Just like my prick maga boss
And "business" lunches, rounds of golf, general hobnobbing, etc.
Guys like that will be on holiday and check their email once per day, respond to two of them, then claim to "never take vacation".
Their whole reality is warped.
You also have a lot of founders who get to that position are workaholics who love focusing on their building empire. For them, it is hard to imagine how people wouldn't want to dedicate everything to building an empire like they do.
Yes and on a global scale we massively overproduce a great many things in the first place. If we could calm the fuck down, we could all work a bit less.
