Today, during the morning standup call CEO shouted at one of the employee for not responding to the messages in slack. He was travelling to some place. CEO argued that no matter what day, we're obliged to respond to messages & be available. Otherwise, we're equal to freelancers. 

Whats your take on this ?

Sure, you have people around, flatmates, coworkers, friends....and family is just a call away. But still, it can get incredibly quiet, and sometimes the noise inside your head becomes overwhelming.

How do you cope with that?

P.S. I live with family now, so there's always some drama going on....But I’ve lived alone before, so I know what it feels like.

Also, I’m not sure if this is what loneliness feels like, or if it’s something closer to depression?

For those who live alone, how do you handle the silence?

Clocking 14-hour days might sound like the ultimate dedication, but at what cost?

This techie’s story is a harsh reminder of how overworking can damage the very things we work so hard for. The Rs 7.5 Cr promotion is impressive, but the toll it took on his personal life? Heartbreaking. His wife filed for divorce, and his success feels hollow.

Here’s why 14-hour days and 90+ hour weeks don’t work:

1️⃣Health deteriorates: Physical and mental burnout are inevitable.
2️⃣Relationships suffer: Time is the currency of love and connection.
3️⃣Long hours ≠ Better results: Productivity declines after a certain point.

Success isn’t about being the last one at your desk or working yourself to exhaustion. It’s about finding balance achieving your goals without sacrificing your well-being and loved ones.

Remember: Life doesn’t pause for promotions. Make time for what truly matters.

Techie worked 14 hours a day, got a Rs 7.5 Cr promotion, but...
