    I’ve worked with people like this before, they’re often some of the least productive individuals in the company. They take twelve hours to do what most people do in six and are constantly dicking around and dragging things out because they don’t want to go home, because they don’t have a life outside of work.

    I’d feel sorry for the guy if he didn’t want to make everyone else as miserable as him.

      I don’t know about hate, but most marriages in India are still arranged, which gives you about a 0.01% of being with someone who you would be naturally drawn to. So I’d say there’s a fairly low likelihood that he was ever in love with her.

      When people are deeply unhappy in home, they tend to not want to be there. Imposing your sad dysfunction on other people is the problem here,

        I literally do stare at her all the time. My phone is filled with pictures of her just doing stuff and sitting around. She’s mesmerizing.

          The words I’d use are “gaze in awe”.
          As in “How the fuck is that my wife, and what the hell did I ever do to deserve her?”

          In case you’re wondering, yes I do tell her that too, cause honestly why wouldn’t I?

    Tell me you hate your wife without telling me you hate your wife. Clearly he also just uses her as a maid/housekeeper, because who’s sitting at home on their days off?

      The elite. The same kind of people who think if you stopped buying starbucks and avacados you could buy multiple houses.

    How much is a chairman worth compared to a CEO?

    90 / 7 = 12.86 hours a day, every day.

    In America that would be 50 hours of overtime.

    So let me ask him this… are you PAYING me for 90 hours? I can do it, let’s see the money.

    My current salary is $69.23/hr.

    OT hours would be $103.85.

    Pay me $414,010 a year and you’ll get your 90 hours a week.

      Honestly, you could add three digits to that and I still wouldn’t do it.
      A friend of mine worked around 90-100 hours a week, building up his own business, hoping to get bought out by a big fish and retire early.
      He simply didn’t wake up anymore one night when he was 35.

    Linked in Lunatics: 90 hours? That seems low-effort minimum to me. I work so hard I violate the laws of spacetime.

      You’re getting a 15 day week! Thats where you work 7 days a week at THREE jobs! But because none of them are the same job, none of them are overtime. 120 hours, min wage bitch!

    Subrahmanyan replied that he regrets not being able to make his employees work on Sunday too.

    “I regret I am not able to make you work on Sundays. If I can make you work on Sundays, I will be more happy, because I work on Sundays,” Subrahmanyan was heard saying in an undated video that has emerged on Reddit. “What do you do sitting at home? How long can you stare at your wife?” the chairman of Larsen & Toubro asked. “Come on, get to the office and start working.”

    Subrahmanyan further gave the example of his interaction with a Chinese person who claimed China can beat the United States of America. Asked why that is, the Chinese man claimed that Chinese people work 90 hours a week, while Americans work only 50 hours a week.

    “So that’s the answer for you. If you have got to be on top of the world… You have to work 90 hours a week. Get going, guys. Come on,” he said.

    “Who even needs freedom? You eat and sleep, you might as well do that here! Not on our dime of course, you can’t leave either though. Just take 10 minutes once a day, eat, and go back to work! It’s a fulfilling life to enrich people like me!”
