Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Chairman, S.N. Subrahmanyan, has sparked a controversy with his recent comments about the work culture at the company. During an internal employee interaction, Subrahmanyan suggested that employees should work 90 hours a week and even on Sundays to remain competitive. His remarks, which have since surfaced on Reddit, were met with criticism. In the video, Subrahmanyan expressed regret that he couldn’t mandate Sunday work, stating that he personally works on Sundays. He also made a controversial comment, asking, "How long can you stare at your wife?" to urge employees to return to the office. The chairman compared the work culture in China, citing an interaction where a Chinese person claimed that Chinese workers put in 90 hours a week, while Americans only work 50 hours, suggesting that to be at the top, employees must work longer hours. His remarks have raised concerns about work-life balance and sparked debate on the expectations placed on employees in high-pressure environments. Social media users were absolutely aghast at such a take on work-life balance. Subrahmanyam's remarks earned him a comparison with Narayana Murthy.
