L&T chairman SN Subrahmanyan calls for working Sundays.

He advocates 90-hour work week months.

He expresses regret over being unable to make employees work on Sundays.

He asks “How long can you stare at your wife? What do you do sitting at home?”

“If I can make you work on Sundays, I will be more happy, because I work on Sundays” – he said

Infosys Narayanamurthy earlier suggested 70-hour work week.

My views –

Its time, he retired!

I remember Infosys Narayanamurthy once vouched against employees staying overtime in office; said, employees should leave office on time, to go out of routine official work, to try new things – have a life!

It is productivity that matters; more than the time employees spend in office. The management should focus on enhancing individual productivity of employees via process orientation of business & relevant upskilling of employees.

The demand of management on employees spending more time in office indicates colossal lack of hold of the top management on the business of the company they lead! Simple. Management of corporates is becoming blind on business & its future prospects.

The corporate leadership team is losing its hold on their business; becoming blind to be unable to foresee the prospective future of their companies in business.

The leadership team of corporates is suffering from schizophrenic paranoia on the sustenance, profitability & future of their business.
