šØ "I believe in hard work over work-life balance; I was disappointed with Indiaās shift from a six-day workweek to five," says Narayana Murthy.
@IndianTechGuide This man had zero interests apart from exploiting his workforce. Such a sick character who became over influential is a threat to our society. Why does he get so much air time for spouting evil rubbish against employee rights?
@IndianTechGuide He want others to work like Sl@ves so that he can build his empire & become more rich š
@IndianTechGuide Translation: dedicate your entire life to grow my business, forget about your own life.
@IndianTechGuide If we work 7 days per week means he'll be so happy. You're giving just salary. Any profit shared to the employees ? Beware of such guys who put the society to Work alcoholic due to their self benefit
@IndianTechGuide I don't think anyone minds doing hard work if they get a fair return on their work - in terms of salary, fair taxation, good infra, clean cities, less corruption, tamed inflation, decent healthcare and education etc. As of now, it's all one sided.

@IndianTechGuide Priorities are different for different people, some wants to work 80 hours a week and other person wants to enjoy life with less income, both are equally right
@IndianTechGuide Full support to Mr Murthy. The employees with salary less than 20k must work all 7 days a week so that the founders become billionaires very quickly.
@IndianTechGuide I am pretty sure "corporate slavery" as a term was invented by people working under Mr. Murthy.
@IndianTechGuide I believe in working to enjoy personal life over working to suffer in personal life For me Work life balance is most important
@IndianTechGuide I'm disappointed with myself for thinking that this man was sensible.
@IndianTechGuide If I am paid enough then I am ready to work for you for however long you wish but that's not the case. Most folks in India are not paid enough.
@IndianTechGuide This is why people do not prefer working in india.
@IndianTechGuide Its an era of smart working now. Measure the impact rather than the hours! Good example is above whilst all are working hard - @SpaceX is working SMART!
@IndianTechGuide Work is not everything, learn to live life too š§āāļø
@IndianTechGuide Slave owners were also disappointed with the decision of emancipation of black slaves.
@IndianTechGuide He is still stuck in his '80s mindset and I pity his employees! If you want to work six or even seven days a week, you'd better build your own business rather than work for someone else for peanuts
@IndianTechGuide Sir jaan de di jaaye kaam ke liye. Bas wahi hona chahiye.
@IndianTechGuide What about employees personal lives? They are working for the company, not running their own business where all the profits would go to them. If the value of hard work is truly recognized, employees pay should be higher.
Although I respect the guy and what he did for the country by creating jobs, he's far off here. 6-day workweeks made sense back in the ā80s when people would cling to a job for decades, grateful for any paycheck. Back then, loyalty was rewarded, and people rarely considered jumping ship. Todayās workforce has seen the flipside: - Companies squeezing every ounce of productivity, then tossing people aside the moment theyāre deemed āexpendable.ā This generation isnāt afraid of hard work; theyāre just not signing up to be treated like dirt and exploited. When companies show zero loyalty to their people, they canāt expect loyalty in return. Itās a two-way street. If the employers don't care, don't expect the employees to care what happens to your company.
@IndianTechGuide Ha sab inki majdoori karein apna ghar bhul kar
@IndianTechGuide Yes I agree it should be a 7 day work day with 2 LPA for freshers. Visionary people think like a vision.
From another perspective: Work-Life balance is a necessity, Not a luxury! As expressed by Narayana Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys, his disappointment with a six-day workweek, emphasizes hard work over what he perceives as the leniency of a five-day workweek. While his perspective might resonate with those driven by ambition or the relentless pursuit of success, it's crucial to consider the broader implications of such a stance on the general workforce, particularly in the context of modern India. The value of hard work: Undoubtedly, hard work is the bedrock of achievement. Entrepreneurs like Murthy have built empires through dedication and relentless effort, often working beyond conventional hours. This ethos can inspire a culture of perseverance and commitment, which are invaluable in the competitive landscape of business. However, the glorification of overworking can lead to a skewed perception where the quantity of hours worked is equated with productivity and success, overshadowing the quality of work and the well-being of employees. Let's dig into the importance of Work-Life Balanceš ā¤ļø Health and Well-being: Continuous work without adequate rest can lead to burnout, stress-related illnesses, and a decline in mental health. The human body and mind require time to recuperate, which is not merely beneficial but essential for sustained productivity. šÆ Quality of Life: Life isnāt solely about professional achievements. Personal relationships, hobbies, and leisure activities contribute significantly to one's quality of life. These aspects provide emotional fulfillment and personal growth, which are crucial for a holistic life experience. š”Creativity and Innovation: A balanced life fosters environments where creativity can flourish. Time away from work allows for reflection, which often leads to innovation. Overworked employees might become efficient at routine tasks but may lack the space to think innovatively. š Employee retention and satisfaction: Companies that prioritize work-life balance tend to have higher employee satisfaction rates. This not only reduces turnover but also enhances loyalty and morale, leading to a more committed workforce. š®š³ Cultural and Economic context India, with its vast diversity, has a workforce where the expectations and needs can significantly differ from those in the startup or entrepreneurial sectors. For many, work isn't just about self-actualization but is also about supporting families, pursuing further education, or contributing to community activities. The shift to a five-day workweek was progressive, acknowledging these broader societal roles employees play. Moreover, global trends have shown that reduced working hours can lead to increased productivity. For instance, in countries like Sweden, experiments with shorter workweeks have resulted in happier workers and, in some cases, higher output during working hours because employees are more focused and less fatigued. šāāļø To reiterate, While the ethos of hard work as championed by leaders like Narayana Murthy is commendable and has its place, especially in the entrepreneurial world, it should not be the only narrative. The workforce's health, creativity, personal life, and overall productivity are interlinked with maintaining a work-life balance. Companies need to recognize that their most valuable asset is their employees, and investing in their well-being is not just humane but economically sound. The conversation around work schedules should not be about reverting to longer hours but enhancing how these hours are utilized, ensuring they contribute to both personal growth and corporate success. As India continues to evolve economically and culturally, fostering an environment where work-life balance is respected will be key to sustainable development and societal well-being.
@IndianTechGuide 2014 - Infosys Freshers package was 3.25LPA 2024 - Infosys Freshers Package is 3.45LPA 10 yrs of disappointment. Employees persist for personal stability, not company growth. They face - No benefits for company success, only job loss for company failures.
@IndianTechGuide That's why many are reluctant to work in Infosys
@IndianTechGuide I hope, he will sleep and rethink it, it would be better for him.
@IndianTechGuide Narayana Murthy's work ethic is raising eyebrows! He expects employees to work 6 days a week, citing PM Modi's 100-hour workweek as inspiration. Is this the future of work?
@IndianTechGuide Ever since the 5 day week kicked in, the divorce rate in India has gone up!! ššš
@IndianTechGuide He is right. Just focus on earning money until death so that your kids and grandkids born as billionaires.
@IndianTechGuide Talk to any shopowner or any businessman. He wants his shop, factories, workers to run or work 24Ć7 but when it comes to their childrens they want them in some peaceful jobs. Murthy sahab doing same thing. Grandchild ko 200+ crores dediye and employee ragadta rahe. Well played.
@IndianTechGuide Working 5 days on IT industry, tight deadlines, high pressure, no job security. Itself , this is trauma, one good thing is weekend of 2 days . Why he is so ignorant for well being of employees Giving 3.5 lpa šš
@IndianTechGuide Koi dhakka-mukki nahi karega. Sabko gaali dene ka maukka milega.
@IndianTechGuide According to him 100 hours of work a week is minimum
