Are you assuming travel takes a grand total of 1 minute through the week? It can take up to 4 hours a day in a city like Bangalore (where Infosys is headquartered). So we should be operating with -7 hours of free time then (21 - 28)?

Worrying to see such communist, anti-capitalist dogma among students commuting here. I just hope it's a passing phase that will end when you lot graduate and join the real world.

All these people are capitalists who have made their wealth exploiting the young gen. Since they can no longer work 70 hours themselves, they should just die and not consume resources needlessly.

how many hours do they work to make that money?

This will lead to aggravation of the unemployment crisis. When we have so many unemployed youth they should be employing 2 people for 35 hours each instead of 1 for 70. Split the wages, more people get benefited and the nation also improves overall.

Will any of these so called "productive" firms be willing to pay adequate overtime?

At 5 LPA one should quit and do something else. Even auto drivers and thela walas make more.

Seriously deficiency in your quantitative abilities. Definitely didn't make it to a T1 NLU through CLAT. 70 hour work week is 12 hours a day, because one works 6 days a week.
...
reply
Yes, it's too much. Working 10 hours a day, 7 days a week is a suicidal mission, and can seriously affect your long term mental and social well being. Especially when infy pays 5 lakhs pa c2c!

Mota Bhai ne internet diya toh matlab kuch bhi likhne ka? 8 hours a day makes is 70 hours a week? Where did you learn maths? Putting in 10 hours everyday without taking break seems good to you?
...
reply
working and dying are the same thing to you? 70 hours a week is roughly 8-9 hours everyday- out of 24 hours everyday- thats too much? when youre young and youre able and you dont have a family to go take care of its too much to work 8 hours a day?

pls dont give Lalaji ideas, he probably loves this thread as he doesnt understand sarcasm

That's the problem with corporate lawyers. Not 70 hours are to be given to your employer. Spend some time in upgrading yourself.

My lit friends (actual litigators and not of a firm's lit team) laugh when they read LI comments.

70 is an amateur number. I am inventing a 24x7x365 cubicle that will have a foldable bed, toilet under the desk and built in mini kitchen. Corporate Slavery FTW !!! LET'S GO !!!!!!!

About time that lawyers realized that people in Tech are working equally hard for the money. No, they don't have a better work-life balance.

Brother can give a wage which would allow to keep a cook, a help, a good medical insurance or probably a shot which would ensure we never fall sick and I’ll be ready to work 80 hours 🥰

But that work should not be donkey work like A0s or A1s - it should act as a leverage to build a foundation for future income/power

"Old Geezers should drop dead when they are too old to work 70 hours a week." - That's exactly how absurd his comment appears. Senility happens to erode the best of minds, unfortunately.
