P.S. Through this post I have tried to define real working hours, and I do not intend to discourage anyone from working hard!

I have tears in my eyes, I can well relate to this. Even if I am not present at work, my mind is always there. Good One Shesha :)
ReplyDeleteInsightful, incisive and incredibly true! I love how you've analyzed the 8 as infinity. How we can get sucked into the vortex of work.

Visiting from A/Z. I think employers will always see how much they can get from an employee and also how much they can get from an employee without having to pay them for it. I used to go the extra distance at work, but rarely do these days. I team play and help as I can, but I do try to separate work from regular life otherwise it can be so time consuming.
ReplyDeletegood luck with the rest of the challenge!
betty
Reminds me of calculus..Approaching infinity.. Turn back before the burnout :)

I learnt quite early that there is no use to go the extra distance in work..especially in Indian IT companies...No siree!

That's quite an analysis... And after staying in the same company for a long time I realized they don't care about employees.
ReplyDeletewhen i was reading this, all through i was feeling like "is this how i will be when i start working"!! how true it is!

When I worked before quitting to have my kids I was a lot like that. Everyone in my office was on salary. So honestly it didn't matter if you worked through your breaks, worked over, or came in early. You were getting paid the same as the idiot that spent and hour and a half staring into space, grabbing a coffee, checking their personal email, and hours during the day on personal phone calls or going out for a cigarette. It really got to me and made me mad. The thing is in hindsight I realize I should have just did what I had to, took advantage of my breaks, and left when I was supposed to because I didn't get anything more than an attitude. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThis is so damn true...loved how you've interpreted 8!!
ReplyDeleteI can see myself in the post and my work was my everything. Unfortunately, we lose out on precious things in life and forget the self. Very beautifully narrated, Shesha:)
ReplyDeleteI appreciated what you said but I have worked for myself since the 1970's so can't really relate. When you are in business for yourself you work around the clock :) The important thing is how you treat your employees and make sure they are compensated for everything they do

It's so true and the way you turned out 8 to infinity is too good :)
ReplyDeleteAn insightful post that speaks of something terribly important in today's world. Really, what do we truly gain from working such long hours?

hold a zero by touching either side of diameter, using both of your hands
ReplyDeletetwist it along diameter in opposite direction
see the figure you get
it is infinity sign
hence
When you twist zero, it becomes infinity.
OR
you anti-twist infinity it becomes a zero.
0 and infinity are 2 different names for same object's 2 behaviours.
if you know the art of twisting and anti-twisting, you can make an infinite work into a zero-work, no-work !!! (if you work for something you love then there is no work involved at all.)

and connection to the 'waiting for' post is catchy here
I work as a Government officer with Government of Gujarat and yes, I did that to myself too, for a long long time. But, then I had to stop somewhere. For myself and for my loved ones around. And I did that. Slowly and gradually..
