70 Or 90-Hour Workweek? | India Inc's Obsession With Unpaid Overtime | Akash Banerjee & Rishi

[@thedeshbhakt]

GREAT to see Infosys CEO being grilled about salaries and toxic work culture. If you are the brand ambassador company for IT Services - then act like one. Also shows why the public must speak up and mount pressure on these larger than life CEOs (who think that they don't have to answer to anyone) - www.livemint.com/companies/infosys-ceo-addresses-low-salary-hike-toxic-work-culture-claims-amid-90-hr-workweek-debate-we-have-a-very-clear-11737081820210.html PS - Since a lot of folks asked - I work anywhere between 10 to 12 hours daily on Deshbhakt - because this is my life / passion / purpose. However for the team its rarely more than 8 to 9 hours a day - and SUNDAYS ARE ALWAYS OFF - so that team can stare at wife / girlfriend. :)) I WISH these hours were lesser - (for myself and team) - this is nothing to brag about .... I have seen the health impact of long working hours ..... this is something we will focus on reducing further so that i don't have to stare at my editor all the time! ;)))))

This is one major reason for India's bran drain issue. Many talented and skilled engineers and management graduates left/leave India for better future. God save this country from these so called entrepreneurs and founders 🙏

Hamare yahan ke so called entrepreneurs aur founders are mostly Marwari, sindhi & gujrati kanjoos hai. Isliye ye log ke soch bhi ghatiya hai. They only know how to exploit & extract more money.

I live in Melbourne, and if I am in the office after 5.30, my head of the department asks me if my workload is alright and I get time in lieu if I have to work after my work hours for any event or meeting and I am asked to start late or finish early the next day. I am not making bank, but I actually have time to go for a walk or go to the beach after in summertime. It's amazing to be treated like a human being who gets autonomy. I can take so much ownership of my projects when I know that I can completely disconnect after work or on vacation.

I have more than 10 years of experience in IT, Another reason why ppl get irritated with overtime is because these corporate employers are basically tax payers, so already paying so much tax and getting no benefit from government and now company expects me to work on weekends with no pay. So am i a fool????

I worked for 10 years and now I run my own company. Working 20 hr a day and working on Sunday for a CEO or for a person holding equity makes sense but for an average employee just doesn't make sense. It should be the responsibility of the management to allocate proper tasks based on what the employee can achieve. There is also a gap in the HR department of most companies as the job of the HR should be to be the spokesperson for the employee rather than the company. The non-collaborative and competitive culture makes employees hostile towards one another and creates a culture of favouritism making it hard for new employees to grow.

[@algogi_technologies]

I work for around 20hr a day, but because it's my own company. I too get burnt out. I don't think any of these CEOs can work for 20hr a day doing what the employee does.

@@N_D_2088 with the recent recessions and dearth in projects there is this bad practice going on in most service based companies where employees are warned that if they end up on bench for too long they might be laid off. Projects are unpredictable, and you often get support roles so there isnt much to learn and grow. Non indians are usually strict about their working hours but Indians want to deliberately spend 10-12 hours god knows why.
