MBAs were a mistake, says me, some guy on Lemmy.
Murthy once again declared he did not “believe in work-life balance.”
“I have not changed my view; I will take this with me to my grave”
I’m sure your workers are wishing you’d take it real soon.
Typical CEO ragebaiting to make themselves seem relevant.
Science: knowledge workers stop being consistently productive past 40 hours per week, and probably less than that
Rentier-capitalists hot boxing their own farts recreationally: ackshually the problem is we let you dirty fucking peasants go home to sleep at all
Infosys is a mistake. It’s a poor choice for anyone.
This. Everything Infosys touches is garbage.
I’m only able to take a couple a year, but 3 day weekends are amazing. It takes me two days to catch up on life from working like a dog, and it means I get one day to actually enjoy the life I allegedly work so hard for.
You could argue my greedy ass would say the same thing about 4day weekends if 3days was the norm. Perhaps, but I don’t think so - I think there’s something balanced about the 3:4 ratio. My mood and productivity are so much better on the rare occasions I get to experience this.
Instead of taking traditional vacation throughout the year, I started taking as many Wednesdays as I can for this exact reason. I picked Wednesday specifically because no one else is off to need my attention and I can actually focus on my own chores or my mental health.
Two days is not enough for me to get caught up.
Bruh! Your golf business meetings, lunches, drinks, clubs, gamblin, parties, vacations, and anything other than sitting in front of a computer going meeting after meeting with 5 minute lunch and then coming home to make dinner or do chores and deal with shopping or family issues after sitting in traffic for at least an hour each way and no one driving you all while doing this without extra help is a mistake.
When you can do what we do for the pay we get for at least a whole year, let’s talk. Until then, kindly suck on deez nutz.
I propose we swap and only work 2 days a week.
this should be the way
It seems that modern society has made “standard” things more standard than they originally were.
At least people having special arrangements and working, say, one job 2 days a week and another 3 days a week, and the third sometimes on-demand, seemingly was more normal 100 years ago.
Of course not the majority, the majority would work their asses off by the clock even more than now.
But there are upsides to a non-synchronous, irregular life schedule. Say, more even load for utilities and transport. Weekends not being special days when half the things don’t work.
And, of course, the ability to pick something you like most. Say, if the pay for 3 days a week somewhere is good enough to keep you floating, even if barely, then why the hell not, it’s worth it.
Was he sired on a weekend?
He’s absolutely right. That’s why he should come work for me on his weekends. I’ll pay him $15/hr!
What? He won’t work for that? Lazy CEO.
Shockingly, your brain and productivity improve when you get regular downtime.
(Yeah I know most people want something shorter than a book. It’s a solid read though.)
I’ll read this next weekend 🙃
I’ll eat you next weekend! Mmmmmm, smoked gouda cheese. Lettice. Pickles. Bacon. Squirt of ketchup.
Just need some potatoes.
“Good night. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.”
Narayama Murthy sounds like an enormous piece of shit.
Narayama Murthy was a mistake.
I keep trying to tell people the pull out method is not 100% effective.
You sully the good name of shit.
Yeah, stuff grows in shit
The problem with statements like this is that they only ever seem to be made by narcissists who thinks work is only those efforts that directly benefit them. The end of my “work day” is when I start my other job of working for myself. I manage my home, I take care of my garden, I put effort into maintaining or improving my physical and mental well being, I foster and build the relationships in my life that I care about, etc. All of that is work, it’s just work that I do for myself and don’t get a paycheck for.
Some people would want others’ lives to be embedded into one hierarchy, and that only.
So that everything of importance was being decide by people on top of those hierarchies.
Ex-USSR countries show full well why this shouldn’t be allowed. It, of course, was done there accompanied by a different ideology, but.
Absolutely nailed it.
Narayana Murthy being born was a mistake, I hope someone rectifies it.
I agree weekends were a mistake.
It should have always been 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off.
Sounds sexy
The sexiest.
My wife and I often play this game in bed.
