Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has once again called for longer working weeks has returned, this time with an emphasis on schedules like the 996-pattern used in parts of China.

Murthy's comments revive a debate which began in 2024, when he argued that Indian employees should work 70 hours a week.

    Looks very nicely built I would be pleased to have one of these in my home.

    Far too nice. No need for the blade to be so sharp and free of rust.

    Personally I'd make an exception to my moral stance that work as punishment is slavery, and would prefer to keep him around forcing him to work 70 hours a week, in addition to doing all the other chores required so that he can live - in prison - for the rest of his life.

    Maybe we'll make it 84 hours a week just for good measure, can't be giving him a day off.

    Seems more poetic
