Working only for 40 hours/week is crime
by panjala kumar on May 01, 2008 09:24 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Yes, this is true with most of the high profile managers. They feel that people should work beyond working hours even if they do not have any pending task. According to them, every employee should work for more than 40 hours no matter how efficient/inefficient he/she is. I've seen such managers who just cant take it if employee do not stretch the work hours!!

i was made to stand for 10 hours straight on a production line of a lamp manufacturing unit for 6000 bucks a month 4 years back..during summers the temperature inside the plant would go as high as 50 degrees..then i decided to leave the country as in India only brand name sells..m glad i did that..that country doesn't know how to respect its people..

If u are concerned about the situation in India, it's me and u who formed that country. Country is formed by it's people. Not just landmass. We are equally responsible for pitching in to correct the situation there.
