I once had a job that was working me every single day 9 hours a day because they would not replace the 4th employee who quit, running a 24/7 location.

I told them that if they didn't hire somebody I would quit.

I gave them a week and they hadn't even made an attempt to hire anybody.

I offered to the manager that two days a week we would each take a 12-hour shift, so that each of us in turn would get one full day off each week.

My manager said no.

To my manager's shock and surprise I quit on the spot, and my manager and my coworker each got to work a 12-hour shift for the next 6 weeks every single day until the other person quit and they had to close the business down until they hired in replacements.

Let me guess, the ones pushing hardest for this are the ones that won't be affected by it?

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

Should… should…. we tell them that hours worked doesn’t equate to productivity?

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.

How about this guy goes outside to play hide-n-go-fuck-yourself.

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

The world must stop measuring success by growth.

FYI, Infosys is the family firm of the wife of current British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.

Reading articles like this makes it clear how backwards his policies and view of the working class is.

Okay but I’m gonna slack off for like 69 of those hours

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.

Ask his attendance in the Parliament, then we can talk

i wanna make this very clear. i never wanted to exist, and i don't want to exist. the only reason i choose to is because my parents exist.

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

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.

No.

What a twat.

I wonder what Infosys promised or paid the congressman.

I wonder whether he ever worked 70 hours a week for some company ever in his life.

Get fucked old man.

11.667 hours a day, 6 days a week...

Didn't we already see how that works out?

No.

Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those up. First world ballers are working 140+ hours/week. /s
