What a ridiculous thing to say! It’s not really upto the employee to find that balance because the power dynamics in employer-employee relationship does not give them that leverage. The employer can fire you if they can find someone who’d work overtime for free if you choose not to. What’s needed is legal enforcement. Labour laws. And employee rights.

[@RajeshK1]

Quality work is more important than quantity of time spent in office. If the work is getting done on time, why stay longer in office? People stay longer in office due to loneliness and due to poor family life.

[@itsgvs833]

Regardless of how productive you may be, people always get the impression that you are not working hard if you just sit for 8-9 hours. Even if you finish all the tasks allocated you are expected to contribute more than usual for absolutely no overtime pay more in order to be a 'good' employee.​@@RajeshK1

[@badbad-cat]

The leverage comes only either with proper laws or with strong employees unions

[@strivr-007]

​@@RajeshK1 So, you are assuming that people who are pushed to work 16+ hours are not doing quality work. You are assuming they are lonely. You are assuming that they have a poor family life.

I worked at EY, and I know the harsh reality there. It's a nightmare for most employees. I encountered harassment, extreme pressure, discrimination, and bias at EY. I reported this horrific experience to the EY ethics team, but instead of providing a solution, they closed the case and continued to target and harass me. The EY ethics forum is completely useless. I also reported the issue to CEO Carmine Di Sibio, Rajiv Memani, Sreekanth Arimanithaya, and Jaya Virwani, providing all the evidence-emails, call records, chat screenshots, etc.-but rather than responding with empathy, they blocked me on all social media platforms. They concealed the issue and closed the case. This has been a truly traumatizing experience, and I do not recommend EY to anyone. Imagine the trauma and anxiety I have endured. If you report any incident, they won’t take action; they don’t value human life. They only respond when a fatal incident goes viral.

[@aerahope4755]

same happened to me in hexaware. But I didnt contact the management through social media. The rest of the things you mentioned has happened to me. We should be able to complain these issues to the police station, otherwise I see corporates do slavery only. It is easy to say with one word as "overwork", "workstress", "trauma".

I had to leave my house by 7.30 am to drop my 1 year old in the creche first ( cost paid by me) and to waddle through the traffic and punch in on time! Salary would be deducted if we were late beyond the official time! Waking up early , waking up a toddler very early , giving them a bath, feeding them, and taking them to the crèche is a marathon itself! With no time left for me to have breakfast, I have often gone hungry till lunch time or taken food from canteen etc! But most days in offices starts with meetings etc so u you stay hungry for a while! And then does work end at 5 pm?? Any office at 5 pm or 6 pm in India is an extremely active place!You know that too! Again by 7 , 8 or beyond that some days you take. A train or cab back home ! The never ending traffic, constant phone calls related to work etc.. never leaving you alone on your holidays too! Then you have family emergencies, children falling ill and mom and dad having urgent work assignments, can’t take an off on important days! U hardly can attend a PTA meeting and you are negotiating with your husband who has more important work on that day! It’s all stress! Sick babies, aggressive bosses, nagging in-law, competitive colleagues, the politics and bullying at work places,our own personal health going down the hill! It’s not healthy work life balance for anyone! We have to skip important events too like children’s birthdays etc! When would u exercise? Where is the time for self care , nature walks etc?

[@Dewdrops34215]

Disagree Palaki. When you say others reasons are responsible such as not exercising and consumption of junk food. We should be honest in our analysis to say work is the reason. When employees come home at 9pm or 10pm where will they have the energy left to exercise and cook food? That takes anywhere between 2-3 hours. Then how can we expect people to get enough sleep. These youngsters are set up for failure. Let work end at 6pm. Then there is a chance for them to lead a healthy lifestyle. If someone wants to work overtime it is their choice. Most people aren't in the office till 9pm beacuse they want to be. Its beacuse they have to be.

The issue lies in the work culture in India, particularly with some managers who act as if they own the world, and the lingering colonial-era mindset of submitting to authority figures. It's time for Indians to break free from this bubble and relax. Just look at some international students in the UK and Canada-they're launching LinkedIn campaigns, practically pleading for jobs, and one of their so-called 'advantages' is that they claim to work harder than anyone else, without any concern for work-life balance.

Lecturing the employees is the easier option. In these days, when the labour unions are at their weakest, and the enforcement of labour laws is dismal, the employees are at the employer's mercy. There is always the fear of being laid off or dismissed. Employers must assume responsibility for gradually inducting the new employees to the work culture of their organisation, not throw truck load of work at new employees who are mostly young and have no experience in life, much less in managing pressures.

Yes, your's truly. Didn't get increased increment or promotion despite 5 awards and highest performance in my team. I finally quit when enough was enough. The forkers were wanting me to once again take a new role and 6 months into that will they evaluate and see if i deserve a promotion.

Palki Sharma, this was not expected from you that workers have to draw the line. It appears you are supporting the toxic corporate culture, you have not spoken about the other side of the coin, labour laws, in India and other countries like US, Australia. Seems you are paid off by corporates. We can never listen to your anchoring as we used to before as it is realised that it's is no more unbiased.

1.4B people overworking still India is not a developed country. Maybe this "overwork" is just social media t-rolling.

Many state govts and central govt officially bribing vote bank with 1000-2000 Rs/ month using hardworking people tax money😂😂 start cutting with FM’s fringe benefits as role model!!

India now officially has all the downsides of Japan with none of the upsides.

Work is one, others no one counts are: traffic traveling time to work, Min average 2 hrs everyday, at times 3-4hrs. Road conditions, weather conditions: Rainy, Summers and winter to extremes. Living infrastructre, Expenses is one story, deductions, taxes, insurances, inflation, Fees, Fines. Bacha kya? Hell is here.

I Used to work for 16 hours a Day in ICICI bank during 2000 to 2002 for 2 years every Day including on holidays Sundays to attend ATM emergencies.

Request news channels to spread this as much and file a petition make working hrs strictly only 8 hrs not a single extra second work.

[@Sadhvi_9]

The politicians who have an easy life for themselves and their children can claim big things! We should ask their Bureaucrats how easy their life is working for these politicians and how well are they coping with work stress? Let us know about their health situations too😂 ask them if they feel like slaves of these politicians who claim that the general public can’t cope with stress! And then why do other countries have better work culture and happier lives leading a higher standard of living? 😎😜can’t cope with stress? We are already coping well with foolish and spineless politicians who have made a mess out of this beautiful country!

Wonderful that it stirred a debate. Now back to normal life.

This is a story of established companies- private or public limited. The unorganised sector- like shops or small businesses don’t even offer weekly offs and blatantly disregard the provisions of Labour laws

[@ragigr5701]

Adding to this ,there is another area similar to this needing attention. I am a clinical psychologist. One of my patient came to me with depression.She was going through academic stress and which turned into depression. My patient used to get assignments from teachers,most of the days,at night around 8pm via whatsapp. Eg: To make notes from a 30 page pdf etc.And similar assignments would have given by other teachers as well.Many students finishes them without sleeping .But being an ambitious student, she could not cope up with stress. Now you tell me,what are these students get from school and how can they overcome the stress...Usage of whatsapp for communication by teachers has many psychological aspects of causing tension... Even if they come home,they can't feel rested at home.If this situation continues,and government doesn't make policies, this will definitely be catastrophic.

[@arianugroho]

Agree.... that is why we don't have to work hard nor work smart.... But work adequately

Toxic work culture in companies. Being mocked for leaving on time, working long hours being the measure of productivity - this attitude of managers and senior leadership needs to change. Legislation to cap working hours to 40/week needed now

Working out of passion vs Working because of no choice. Work hard vs Over Work. Don't be afraid to Say no and also be prepared because some people might fire you on this basis.

It’s is the government who has to fix this problem. Corporates are not to be blamed as they exploit people if government is not doing anything. I blame our current government for not framing strict labor laws and if violated strict punishments

[@prashantkumarsrivastava1977]

In my previous company 4 people I know died of overwork, heart attack in 30s . I survived cause I went to the hospital who advised me to leave the job, I was diagnosed with extreme stress. Overwork is very common in IT sector and death by stress is too common.

[@prasadgogate3498]

Bullshit...How is that anything to do with any politician. People need to learn to say "No" to their bosses. There is a law and HR policies of every company which give you enough leaves and there are fixed working hours too. Despite all that people overwork than that to prove their bosses they are worthy of stupid promotions

[@snarays1967]

I have now been working for 38 years. After the first 3 months of training, I have worked for anywhere between 10 to 11 hours per day. I have never seen work as a load. I have enjoyed winning deals, losing orders, snubbed, felicitated and every emotion one can have. One point in time I was reporting to two worst managers who made my life miserable. Never thought I should throw in the towel. Don't know what stuff this gen z, y are made of mentally.

The consequences of toxic work environment is coming up. As for junk food & other bad habits, it was already there. But the greed of corporations and their yes men managers have skyrocketed
