'Totally inhumane': Internet reacts to Karnataka IT firms' 14-hour workday proposal

IT firms in Karnataka have proposed to the state government to increase the working hours of employees from 12 to 14 hours per day. This has sparked criticism and backlash on social media, with people expressing concern for employee well-being and job security. Some argue that this move is inhumane and may lead to job cuts. A doctor explained that working hours should ideally be limited to 36-48 hours per week to prioritize employees' physical and mental health. The proposal is still under discussion by the government and stakeholders.

This is ridiculous!! We are becoming machines day by day. I say instead reduce working hours to 8hours along with work from home options!! We are humans and we have a life too!!! Government should be strict with the work life balance of employees and for their better mental health!!
