How much do you think this approach is unbearable? A founder might willingly work tirelessly because they are building wealth and have their equity at stake. But is it fair to expect the same from employees, especially when they are compensated with peanuts 🥜 compared to their contributions? While such practices have driven economic growth in countries like Japan and China, the cultural context differs significantly. Fact: In post-war Japan, employees worked relentlessly, fueled by values of loyalty and collective progress. Companies, in return, offered job security and lifelong benefits, creating a mutual sense of respect. Similarly, China’s 996 culture—9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week—helped propel its economy. In both cases these efforts were rooted in a shared vision. In India, however, this dynamic often shifts towards exploitation. Without a value-driven culture or equitable rewards, such demands lead to burnout rather than growth. What’s your take? Share your thoughts!
