This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Iceland made theor 4 day workweek experiment permanent...because it was actually more productive.
They don't even want all the money, they just want us to suffer
These people may as well tattoo "slave owner" on their foreheads by now.
And management will lead by example right?
...right?
I'm sure these idiots have no concept of the future. They want to burn everyone out in months to years for the sake of boosting their profits in the here and now. Doesn't matter that if you treat your workers well (and pay them well) you often get greater productivity over a longer period.
Infosys is a shitty boss that would contract for 2 resources but only assign 1 to do the work. That's why he wants 80 hours per headcount.
This is why I'm somewhat happy that AI would render extinct companies like Infosys, Wipro, etc.
These are the people that own the GIF image format. Pronounced like Giraffe. Not known to many of you. This is the company that twice threatened to sue or sued multiple companies over the use of GIF. The first time was at the birth of the web and the last time was when their patent was expiring. Its the only thing the company has ever really done with a worldwide impact and they shit on it every chance they got.
70 hours a week? What? So we can just stare at our screens pretending to work for half that time, if not more?
Go to hell.
You could replace most management people with a rack of GPUs and nobody would notice. Mostly they are a very unimaginative lot parroting the same misguided group think that devalues the employees that create all their companies value. Infosys is a consulting company. They don't make anything or own valuable IP. They pimp out Indian labour to undercut the labour rates and conditions in developed countries which already makes them a shitload of profit.
You would think with increasing options to Indian professionals, their recruitment people would be shitting bricks trying to hire talent with this bullshit out there but they have probably sacked them as well. Though, if I wasn't poor I would probably say all sorts of shit to pump share prices and cash out before the AI bubble bursts.
Another bag of shit that believes in China's 9-9-6 BS so he can float on a yacht. Stay in India loser!
And yes, he's ragebaiting.
Don't even know if I'm giving him too much credit here; maybe he is literally dumb enough to advocate for modern slavery.
It's not just saturday morning cartoon villain evil.
It's also incredibly fucking stupid.
Anything that you get better outcomes from by making people work longer, like assembly lines, can be done better by robots anyway, and of course you as capital owner don't have to live life after your dominant hand gets crushed and amputated.
Anything that isn't pure rote work, you get better results when people are not overworked and spending thirty hours a week sticking fucking pencils in your acoustic ceiling because nobody's fucking brain works that long and hard.
Talk about telling on yourself having no idea how to run a business.
Yeah, go fuck yourself guy
So what I'm hearing from that headline alone is that he's a psychopath who doesn't work more than 5 hours a week, and what little """work""" he does consists of getting drunk at lunch and moaning to other CEOs about how lazy his workers are.
