Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has once again called for longer working weeks has returned, this time with an emphasis on schedules like the 996-pattern used in parts of China.

Murthy's comments revive a debate which began in 2024, when he argued that Indian employees should work 70 hours a week.

Infosys is a shitty boss that would contract for 2 resources but only assign 1 to do the work. That's why he wants 80 hours per headcount.

This is why I'm somewhat happy that AI would render extinct companies like Infosys, Wipro, etc.

These are the people that own the GIF image format. Pronounced like Giraffe. Not known to many of you. This is the company that twice threatened to sue or sued multiple companies over the use of GIF. The first time was at the birth of the web and the last time was when their patent was expiring. Its the only thing the company has ever really done with a worldwide impact and they shit on it every chance they got.

CEO: has lunch and answers a phone call. “I’m working!” Writes a proposal from a yacht “I’m working!” Goes golfing with industry buddies. “I’m working!” Paid tens of millions not including stock options. Spends time in the c-suite. Actually is working. Writes a letter about his cubicle slaves who are chained to their cubicle at work, their phone at home, unable to actually use PTO due to fear of negative performance reviews, working 50+ hours on the clock and uncounted hours off the clock “You need to work more!!” With their pay and benefits constantly under assault by managers.

And yes, he's ragebaiting.

Don't even know if I'm giving him too much credit here; maybe he is literally dumb enough to advocate for modern slavery.

Another bag of shit that believes in China's 9-9-6 BS so he can float on a yacht. Stay in India loser!

Talk about telling on yourself having no idea how to run a business.

[–] Darkness343@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

70 hours a week? What? So we can just stare at our screens pretending to work for half that time, if not more?

Go to hell.

People like this need to be named and shamed.

When his stocks tank as people leave his company in droves, he would realise. Always hit them where it hurts - their wallets.
