Things dumb people say
What greater achievement could I be reaching for then a chill work-life balance? I can think of no better goal.
Truly there is no better goal. If you only have one life, be somewhere and do something that will let you have some of it.
They really following the Sillycorn Valley startup huh, work more for radiation exposure for the good of the upper society.
Sudha Murthy of Infosys also said that Indian freshers should just earn the baseline 24000 INR per month to live a “simple life”, as she continues to increase her billionaire money stack. These fuckers need to be lit on fire in public for display.
I have another post I’ll be sharing soon, by Sudha. Looks like Mr. Narayan Murthy works on viagra.
work-life balance is a big achievement
Oh yeah! All these capitalist scum pitching hustle culture to youngsters so that they can go from being very rich to being stinking rich.
Why exactly don’t we have a hall of shame to showcase parasites like these?
See, I wouldn’t be so against this if there were a real promise behind it aside from some "atta-girl"s and "atta-boy"s. Salaried employees aren’t going to make an extra 100% for double work. I probably wouldn’t be half as productive, on top of gaining a disdain for life.
I can see right through Shah’s and other CEO’s plans: Normalize slaving yourself to your job just so that we can pay you the same or less in real terms.
Capitalist scums love to stroke nationalism. Kunal Shah’s own company is in losses, lmao. Bro has been taking a lot of L’s recently.
And the only way to do it is in the office after a long commute!
“We see an extraordinary execution (in China). It’s called 9-9-6 culture - 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. And you see that progress. We cannot have the ambition of being a 10-20 trillion dollar economy and still expect that life should be chill,”
yeah and everyone’s tired of it there and moving away from it. and what does he think Indian workers in the private sector do? they don’t get Saturdays off, they are always forced to work overtime, its why everyone in India wants a public sector job in the first place.
India’s terrible economic situation isn’t because people aren’t working hard enough but because there is no work in the first place (especially for college-educated people). China managed to build productive forces by forcing capitalists to do what the state wants whereas Indian state is controlled by capitalists directly.
the low productivity is a failure of capitalism, not workers.

Today’s economies are richer than ever, it’s the most sustainable it has ever been.
How anyone can simp for 996 is ridiculous.
Also most of Lemmy does not like China, that’s only the tankies.
Only privileged tankies are praising China. Also fuck the Chinese 996 model. Give me “western” work/life balance anytime of the week. That exploitative shit is not sustainable for the economy and the country. Like nobody is having children in China, South Korea and Japan, because they don’t have the time and money to raise them.

Because liberal ‘reforms’ resulted in actually increased standard of living in China for everyone while in India only top 10% benefited. There is a reason why China is near first world in Global Hunger Index while India is near the bottom.
I didn’t say neither India nor China is ‘fair’ or ‘exploitative’ in the first comment. The conditions are completely different. What are you talking about?
Preach!
Just what exactly do these assholes think the point of life is. Also pretty rich to talk about work life balance when all of your national wealth is being siphoned off by a giant pulsating leech that is the “enlightened west”
To quote Michael Parenti India isn’t underdeveloped it’s overexploited
The point of their life is to collect all the wealth “they deserve” from plebes that will never rise to their level because, in their mind, these people don’t work hard enough
He’s right. We should be working waaaaay less
How has this scumbag a podcast with the word “ethic” in the title?
Well, I’d understand if it was called “Risks, growth, and Ethics for Aspiring Nazis”
A disturbing number of Indian tech workers that I’ve seen online are full blown
worshipping hustlegrinders, and it’s fucked.The education system has brainwashed us in this manner. I admit that I used to be one of them too, just a few years back. Now I hate them with all my heart. Forget being rich, I know that I won’t be able to live decently. Just going to earn around ₹15-30k per month every day, even if I get a job, like a fucking wagie, even after spending money on a four-year useless degree in Computer Science that didn’t teach me shit. The system is fucking rigged, the people here are dumb, Hindu-Muslim beef is just a distraction while the politicians will fill their pockets with tax payers money and bend their asses to capitalist daddies.
And that is why most real talent flee India…
Makes sense, I mean, why should I enjoy any of my time while I’m alive? Seems pretty silly to waste my life doing things that make me happy and satisfied when I could be making some rando way richer…
