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.

      Personally I’d make an exception to my moral stance that work as punishment is slavery, and would prefer to keep him around forcing him to work 70 hours a week, in addition to doing all the other chores required so that he can live - in prison - for the rest of his life.

      Maybe we’ll make it 84 hours a week just for good measure, can’t be giving him a day off.

      Seems more poetic

          There’s an awful lot of billionaires. Don’t want it to take too long or we’ll be hacking at necks all day.

          When the time is right, you squirt some acid on the blade. Any acid… Citric and acetic are pretty easy and they hurt like a beach on a small cut.
