Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has once again called for longer working weeks has returned, this time with an emphasis on schedules like the 996-pattern used in parts of China.

Murthy's comments revive a debate which began in 2024, when he argued that Indian employees should work 70 hours a week.

He doesn't work that hard, so why the fuck should we?

He probably thinks he works 80 hour weeks because he is including schmoozing with clients and company paid lunches and dinners as "work"

"This is nothing. When I was young, I worked 80 hours a week", Murthy probably

These are the little fuckwits that pretend waiting on a phone call back from someone is hard work. They have no concept of what real work is like; their "work" is just their ordinary greasy life made to benefit a shareholder in addition to themselves.

Oh, you want me to go play golf with this guy using the company card and then go for dinner and drinks? Do some soft sales, just having regular conversation? Sure, I'll take that "work". Man, it's tough. Nobody works 80 hour weeks like me.

Pointing and telling someone what to do, isn't work.

He has his own private chef to make him food, he has maids to take care of his house(s), he has assistants to do all his errands, if he has kids he has nannies to take care of them. So in his backwards ass head he can easily "work" more than 70+ hours a week and doesn't understand why us lowly peons can't do the same.
