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
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.
Narayana Murthy being born was a mistake, I hope someone rectifies it.
To be fair, some of my weekends have been a mistake.
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.
And sitting on the couch with their dicks in their hands is "hard work" for them, but it's just jerking off for the rest of us. These assholes consider themselves working when they sleep, because them being rested is "good for the business".

Uh, I think you mean "meditation" and "mindfulness"
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.”
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.
Absolutely nailed 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.
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
WOW. Sleep and rest are mistakes. TIL
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.
It's not about productivity. If that were the real goal then the entire system would be structured radically differently, given what we know now through actual research. The real goal is ensuring that workers do not have ample time or energy to collectively organize. Make sure they don't have the time to even think about anything else, and you ensure they damn sure don't have the time to rebel. The other goal is ensuring there are a significant number of unemployed people in terrible enough conditions to make them desperate, but not so terrible that they are incapable of working. That way if s few stray workers get a bug up their ass about organizing and striking, there's a reserve army of labor in the homeless and unemployed communities that can step in and scab.
Is immolation illegal?
This is honestly pretty funny stuff.
