India's proposed 70 hour work week: ILLEGAL AND ABUSIVE *OR* ROAD TO NATIONAL GREATNESS?
 

I'm not sure... there is such a thing as a POINT OF DIMINISHING RETURNS....

Regardless, I see this as part of the Indian government's attempts at trying to replicate China's success.

My gut feeling is the path to unleashing India's total economic potential lies in:
- free trade / free markets
- reduced government size
- less regulations
- lower taxes
- privatization

Not gonna happen anytime soon due to political realities. Reference: massive protests when Modi tried to reform Indian agriculture

>insert Tyler Durden reference here

The commies and marxists shriek when they hear that but I say that is the road to greatness. The antithesis to greatness is doing whatever the commies and Marxists recommend.

National greatness = fascism :2 cents:

70 hour work week? Those who really work in the adult industry do those hours so not a big deal.

10 hours every day? Are you sure ?

This was suggested by the owner of Infosys, a company with a horrible reputation on all levels.
His daughter is coincidentally married to Rishi Sunak.
And the idea is laughable at best, why don't we directly return to enslaving people? Would be even cheaper.
And if you're self employed and choose to work that much it's your decision (or problem).

At least one Russian who realizes that.

Talking about LONG ASS WORK HOURS, it turns out Japan's hardcore work culture is NOT EVERY EFFICIENT when measured in terms of GDP per hour worked

I mean, you should want to work 70+ hours a week. If you don't, there is someone out there who will work 70+ hours a week and eat your lunch!

I think in this modern era most of jobs do not require long hours, but more efficient hours. Only pure psychical activities require long hours, like building a house.

It should be a choice. It may work for some companies and not others and for some people and not others. Most rich people are workaholics and can do this easy. If you're not rich but had an emergency and needed the money you would just do it to survive and after the first week it would become a norm for you.

Usually...

Busy people - happy people! :)))
I've been working on my own 12-14 hours per day almost without days off for the decades.

Nope. Remember who were national socialists

lol

Socialists?

Agreed, but can we really call them "workers" ?

This is bad news for other countries, if the scam call centers do this, too.

But they probably already work overtime. :1orglaugh

If you want to work that much hour, make sure you have great health insurance and a doctor on your contact list all the time.

Sooner you will need both of them.
