IS 9 to 9 The New 9 to 5 Job? Work life balance in 2023 explained by The IIM Guy !!

[@KaushikBhowal]

Very deeply thought-provoking video. Everything said herein is absolutely correct. You have really seen corporate life, lived it and understood it analytically. I just loved this video.❤❤❤❤ Thank you sir.

[@theiimguy]

You’re welcome

[@sauban71]

Great video. I myself did an MBA from one of the top 5 Indian B-Schools, then did a second MBA in the US over 20 years ago and then settled permanently in the US. No wonder people don’t want to come back to India. There is much less competition in the US for high paid jobs in the US compared to India. Most of my colleagues work 9 to 5, and don’t work on any weekends. So work-life balance is exponentially better in the US, Would strongly advise folks to migrate to developed, first world countries if possible. You will thank me for it.

[@theiimguy]

Thanks for sharing your perspective, and congratulations on your academic and professional journey. It's great to hear that you've found success and a better work-life balance in the US.

Can you please share more about where you work and which field?

[@Yatukih_001]

Your colleagues need to cease working 9 - 5, and find 9 - 1 jobs instead. The employers in your country need to change the work schedule from 9 - 5, to 9 - 1 or less, 3 days each week. If they try to say no then if people try to work for, say 14 hours a day they collapse because their bodies collapse. I know this because somebody told me her friend in Iceland died after trying to work 14 hours. The reason for why she is still alive is, because she does not fall for this stupidity. She works for less than 9 - 5. The more work you do, the less impressed people are with you until you finally reach the end goal of the 9 - 5 hour job, which becomes the moment your boss fires you. Your boss does not want 9 - 5 people around, your political parties do not want 9 - 5 people around, your family does not want 9 - 5 people around, your friends do not want 9 - 5 people around, suddenly you end up becoming the last man on Earth of 8,1 billion people who still wants to try to make it one day with a 9 - 5 hour job - impossible. The day consists of 24 hours, and you can only work for 5 as recommended by the W.H.O. and by scientists.

[@aahwanneeraj3518]

People in lower end jobs works for 80-90 hours a week. I used to work 12+ hours 7 days a week when I was in retail sector. Now in IT I just work for 9 hours a day. Corporate people have no idea how privileged they are

[@anikets4699]

So working 12+ hours every day is good ?

[@anikets4699]

It should be 8 hours of work, if you want more than that, hire a part time worker for those extra 4 hours!!! Why glorify stupidity ???

[@jumpropewithAbhi]

Thank you for making this video. I was working for two years in a corporate job and left it in 2022. It was related to Patents and Trademarks. Had to work for almost 12-14 hrs everyday during lockdown and I couldn't see myself going anywhere with that job. I gave CAT too after leaving the job but couldn't get a good percentile. Now it's been 2 years since I've been unemployed and am not able to decide what to do. I don't have a clear goal in mind even at the age of 26. But I want good work life balance in whatever job I'll do. From watching your video I have decided that if I go for MBA I will choose HR field just because of good work life balance. I don't care about earning more money. But atleast I should be able to do all those things that I want to do along with the job.

[@शिवा1008]

give govt exams a shot, like ssc cgl,

[@jumpropewithAbhi]

@@शिवा1008 i already gave that. Will be giving it next year too. But it's kust that i want a job now. Next Cgl is going to be in October. I can't waste my time just preparing till then. Especially when we don't even know how many vacancies are going to be there.

[@शिवा1008]

@@jumpropewithAbhi bro in can understand the financial pressure but understand that once you get these jobs, its a job for life, and also Group B posts pay 60k/month, private jobs are easy to get but hard to do, govt jobs are hard to get but easy, also think of what kind of work you wanna be doing for the rest of your life, what kind of life you want to have, all this mba is a waste of time in my opinion, to crack SSC CGL you need to study a lot for atleast 3-4 months, your success is directly proportional to the number of mocks you solve and how much you study, do not think of preparing as wasting time, try to cut spending, ask for parents help, if you have taken a loan, try speaking to the bank manager, join a job only if you absolutely have to because that will drastically reduce your time, do not worry about the vacanies, cut offs etc, just focus on your preparation and aim for 99%, soch lo bhai, there are ways to make money other than joining a company, think deeply and figure out what you want in life, and a job is a big part of life for most people, kuch bhi aasaan nahi hota, also govt exams are age limited as you know, so soch lo,

Yeh sab janke kya solution hoga logo ka? Pata hi to hai! And Why are you talking about choosing Industry specific? The Government policies are backdated and not reformed and that is why it is happening till now in 2023. India cannot grow to its fullest potential until the work culture is changed & strict labour laws are implemented, i.e 9-5 means 9-5 only.. Adha population ka agar Mental stability, Family life personal life hi thik nahi rahega to country ka grow hogi brother?? The companies can start working early, but I after 5-6 pm no work system should be done.It must the discipline. The main thing is that After that, if anybody is working willingly overtime has to be the system(Which you have not told).. Then the hate will gradually go down and will be beneficial for the country it's self. Because of these factors, After growing soo much, the nation has ranked 139th in the happiness Index. Just look around the Bosses(The Millennials) who are in corporates today! Do we want that same thing to pass on next generations to be like that?? Hope not, So cover that in videos. And the middle class khud pata nahi kis kis ka battles lar rahe hai instead of setting their own issues first. And In this Loksabha Elections, The amendment in Employment Laws, Work Culture for middle class should be the agenda for the middle class population.
