NRN loves making controversial statements: 70-hour work week is a new prick.!

He is right! Let's focus on key questions:

Can our system support high productivity (aka 70-hour workweek aka Work your A$$ off)) call? Is reward proportional? Do you trust your leaders to commit to this grind?

NRN says; after WW2, both Japan and Germany slogged as a nation, and they became world's most powerful economies.
--Mohan Das Pai slogged as a committed CFO and CHRO for Infosys for decades at peak productivity and as a leadership powerhouse, he took company to glorious heights, did he get his cherished CEO role at Infosys? No. So, what did he do after waiting too long? Quit! -SYSTEM DIDN'T SUPPORT! Leadership's double standards exposed.
--During WFH, most managers agreed that staff worked at 30 to 50% higher productivity, if compared against pre-covid in-office productivity! Here, productivity simply means, what you get done and how soon, not necessarily how much! Soon after Covid vanished, people were asked to be back to work. Productivity back to 70% of the WFH time (blame commute, office distractions, useless meetings etc.)- TCS made tall talk that even after Covid restrictions are over, they would have 75% staff WFH! SYSTEM DIDN'T SUPPORT! Leadership's double standards exposed.
--Mohandas Pai was the most vocal critic of IT Service major's apathy towards freshers' salary at campus offers, which he said, was constantly at ~3 lacs Per Annum for past 7 years..Again, SYSTEM DIDN'T SUPPORT! Leadership's double standards exposed.

NRN sir and everyone, who agrees with NRN, if we want to be like Japan and Germany, let's start with their commitments as leaders and bellwethers!
We have come long way from the bean-counter era!
It's time to talk about smart work, smart tech, smart workplaces, smart work influencers (not our sedated managers, aka the working dead as per this Perceptyx report- MUST READ-https://lnkd.in/gp73V-wz)
Let's change the system and let's stay integral to our words as leaders, productivity will be world-class in less than 40 hours work week.
