“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.

Billionaires were a mistake. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“I have not changed my view; I will take this with me to my grave,” he asserted .

Fine fine, can you speed this up a little? The grave part I mean.

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.

Every weekend should be a three-day weekend.

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.

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.

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.

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

Ain't got no time to read the article right now but that thumbnail is accurate because being a workaholic will just kill you and send you to the big cloud up in the sky.
