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

it’s heartbreaking to hear stories like this. While professional success is important, personal well-being and connections hold far greater value.
