Hey, Narayama Murthy, go fuck yourself.
“I was not very happy with that. I think in this country, we have to work very hard because there is no substitute for hard work even if you’re the most intelligent guy,”
Dude… If you work hard despite the fact that you claim to be intelligent… You are not intelligent.
Work smart, not hard. The smart thing is to take breaks so that you can focus on what you are doing. Not working till you drop.
Guarantee he’s one of those rich pricks who count flying on a plane as “work”. But he will work the dogshit out of his employees.
Just like my prick maga boss
And “business” lunches, rounds of golf, general hobnobbing, etc.
Guys like that will be on holiday and check their email once per day, respond to two of them, then claim to “never take vacation”.
Their whole reality is warped.
100%, which is why they never argue in good faith.
You also have a lot of founders who get to that position are workaholics who love focusing on their building empire. For them, it is hard to imagine how people wouldn’t want to dedicate everything to building an empire like they do.
Yeah.
It sounds delusional, but by their deluded standards it makes sense.
Everyone should want to work themselves to death do build Jeff Bezos’ empire. It’s just logical… At least to Jeff.
You also get the problem where people will start companies with other employees that are ride or die because they had significant equity in the company. Once you approach anything like Amazon’s size, the potential equity people can get has been severely diminished.
Those are my favorites - “Why doesn’t everybody in my company want to work 80 hour weeks and never take vacation, like I do?” Geez, maybe it’s because they don’t own the fucking company and there is absolutely no benefit to them to work themselves to death? They’re not the ones making more money just because they’re increasing company profits.
Yes and on a global scale we massively overproduce a great many things in the first place. If we could calm the fuck down, we could all work a bit less.
Like all other people, I believe he should lead by example so others can easily follow his work.
A lot of CEOs and senior execs genuinely do work some nutty hours though.
yes. no doubt their work is recognized and appreciated by everyone in their company.
By their yes-men, maybe.
And think that is what gave them success, rather than the millions of dollars of their father’s money.
CEOs when they have to wake up at 6am and commute for an hr both ways instead of waking up and watching their servant make them a causal late breakfast and calling it working.
CEOs watching numbers go brrrr === working~!
Ain’t got no time to read the article right now but that thumbnail is accurate because being a workaholic will just kill you and send you to the big cloud up in the sky.
People had to fight and die for an 8 hour work day and 5 day work week. You’d better be willing to fight again, cuz they’re coming for that.
See, that study that suggested 4 day work weeks increase productivity (and that a majority of companies kept after the trial) apparently lacked the ever so important control group of working 7 days a week and for extra hours per day. I’m sure that really increases productivity.
While we’re at it, no remote days and everyone work in an open office with no cubicles or walls to block noise, and certainly no distracting windows.

Wow. Add in the micromanager oddly obsessed with seeing my bum (in a chair) and that’s why I changed jobs.
Just naming stuff research has demonstrated to be bad, haha. The literature is quite definitive on it, but you know how the MBAs in management care about research.
“I have not changed my view; I will take this with me to my grave,” he asserted .
Fine fine, can you speed this up a little? The grave part I mean.
I’m sure the constant 70 hour weeks are speeding things along
I don’t think he’s the one working 70 hours.
What this guy fundamentally fails to understand is that countries go from low gdp to high gdp not by producing more exports but rather by getting domestic consumption up. Time off is required for domestic consumption to happen. Henry Ford didn’t give his workers time off for their benefit, he did it so they would buy cars.
he did it
so they would buy carsto kneecap any union effort.Don’t get me wrong, he did the right thing, but it was to stop a union being created rather than some 4D chess move. He did use your logic as the excuse, though.
Even a broken clock.
People have “forgotten” (ie never taught) that the first step in critically examining the actions of others is to understand their motivation and how it benefits them.
Every weekend should be a three-day weekend.
If everyone got double pay after 24 work hours per week, companies would have an incentive to keep each employee at under that limit. If they needed longer hours, Toney could hire a second employee to finish the day/week. If you job won’t pay for your extra hours but you want more money, then then working a second job actually fits into the number of hours in the week.
I’d like to see this fuckstick standing on his feet all day, and asking his supervisor for permission to pee. Then we’ll see how he feels about eliminating weekends.
Can I be the supervisor?
I’ll tell him to piss himself and keep working.No. You tell them to piss in a bottle. That way when they get thirsty in 10 minutes they have something to drink on hand. Efficiency.
Those bottle costs cut into company profits!
Who said they’re company provided? Weren’t reusable bottles all the rage for a while? Employees can bring their own. Make sure you wash it at home too…
My boss told me I couldn’t go to the bathroom whenever I needed to. I told him next time he tells me that I’m gonna shit on the floor. Nothing since.
Woohoo, that’s my boss! Explains a lot about the company.
Fun fact: we had to “return to office” last year. I had to move away from all my friends to a red state. Come to find out, there’s practically nobody in the office either. All of our work is done over zoom. It was just a “quiet layoff”, but I couldn’t find another job in time to quit.
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.
What a fucking slacker wasting ~66 hours per week that he could have been GRINDING. Pathetic.

Billionaires were a mistake. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I regret to inform you that a billionaire stole your arm to help pay for their next mansion / yacht / social media site.
That would’ve been so much funnier if you’d used the backslash.
AGAIN???
