14-Hour Work Week? Karnataka IT Workers Say "NO!" But Will They Be Heard?🤷‍♀️

Does the current government want IT sector to die off ? What’s wrong with the decision making machinery of this government? Yesterday there was a news to increase cess on movie tickets. Ok fine to an extent. But also to charge people of state for OTT subscription. IMO this is unimplementable though. After their state budget got hit after their freebies schemes, they increased bus fares, increased charges on milk etc. Rents are sky high, Roads are pathetic, water crisis just said HI this year, don’t want to even mention traffic, local auto walas have gone bonkers. I think everything is going wrong with this city and on top of that bizarre laws from state government just so that they can milk out every single penny from any other person. Don’t know about other sector employees but I believe IT employees are just here because of their base location else they’re happy to exit BLR!

14 hour workday plus a two way commute of 4 hours because WFH is bad for the local economy? Obnoxious proposals like this make me happy that I left the city and the country. Sometimes I wonder if I am missing the growth and economic opportunities of an emerging economy but stuff like this makes me realize there’s a lot more to life than that.

Instead of reducing work hours as technology progresses these soulless companies with only profits as their goal are constantly increasing work hours. No one in IT should be working for more than 6 hours a day, or 8 hours a day 4 days a week. This corporate slavery is really killing me from the inside.🤷‍♀️

They are just treating their employees as bots or I should say slaves. Government should intervene in this and protect the rights of the employees and they must ensure that they are treated properly and importance should be given to them so that they get a healthy environment to foster their career.
