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.)

Narayama Murthy sounds like an enormous piece of 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.

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

I propose we swap and only work 2 days a week.

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.

Infosys is a mistake. It's a poor choice for anyone.

I agree weekends were a mistake.

It should have always been 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off.

MBAs were a mistake, says me, some guy on Lemmy.

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.

These people, like Musk, think laying on a couch with a pen in your hand pondering about random shit to be hard work. That's where they come up with this kind of BS. That and being from a higher cast and never having worked a single honest day in his life and making a fortune out of corruption and networking.

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.

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.

Just because he is an idiot who never worked a day in his life and so doesn't know that your productivity goes down significantly without relaxation that doesn't mean that anyone should listen to that drivel.

Murthy claimed he himself worked six and a half days a week until retirement, typically 14 hours and 10 minutes a day, clocking on at 6:20 AM before downing tools at 8:30 PM.

Yeah, sure you did, pal.

“This man has been given too much of an importance by asking his opinion about everything under the sun. His words remind me of those exploitative barons of medieval ages from whom the 8 hours work day rights had to be snatched,” quipped a commenter who claims to be a former Infosys employee.

True words, my friend.

Narayana Murthy being born was a mistake, I hope someone rectifies it.

Shut the fuck up, Narayama Murthy.

The mistake was narayama murthy's mom didn't swallow the night he was conceived.

To be fair, some of my weekends have been a mistake.

"I'm a workaholic, and anybody who isn't needs a good horse-whippin' to knock some sense into 'em!"

WOW. Sleep and rest are mistakes. TIL

Is immolation illegal?

This is honestly pretty funny stuff.
