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.”
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
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.
This. Everything Infosys touches is garbage.
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
So eloquently put & efficiently communicated, I only wish I could be that articulated with words.
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.
I propose we swap and only work 2 days a week.
this should be the way
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.
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.
Fun fact: Where I live (Devon, England), every common person once had to spent two days a month working for their local Lord for free, maintaining the roads. That’s as well as paying rent to them, of course. Plus, they had to provide tithes to the Church as well as grow or raise enough food for their family. And if they had any strong sons that might be particularly useful in working their meagre strip of land, they’d be conscripted for the Crown’s armies.
They worked 7 days a week. Incredibly hard and long days by our standards. The only half day they got off was to go to church, which wasn’t really optional. (You weren’t forced, but the whole community turned against you if you didn’t)
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.
Typical CEO ragebaiting to make themselves seem relevant.
If Musk has taught me anything in the last several months, it’s that the job of CEO is the easiest jib in the world. He’s CEO of like 5 different companies, and now he has a made-up but high level, government job. Must be fuckin nice-
That’s too much credit. I’d say just an old man given more attention than he deserves.
MBAs were a mistake, says me, some guy on Lemmy.
I know right? Who cares about basketball?
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”.
sitting on the couch with their dicks in their hands is “hard work” for them
Uh, I think you mean “meditation” and “mindfulness”
Narayana Murthy being born was a mistake, I hope someone rectifies it.
Shut the fuck up, Narayama Murthy.
