First, Alibaba founder Jack Ma demanded tech workers follow "996", a schedule of 9:00am to 9:00pm, six days a week. Then Elon Musk asked workers at Twitter—now X—to commit to long working hours at a "high intensity." And late last year, Tencent CEO Pony Ma complained that his employees were taking it easy on the weekends as the broader company struggled.
Now, another tech founder is chiming in on allegedly lazy workers. Narayana Murthy, founder of IT consultancy Infosys, thinks employees need to work a 70-hour work week—and should do so out of pride for their country.
