Reactions poured in swiftly on social media, ranging from reflective comments to humorous takes. One user noted,“Great comparison,” while another joked,“Bold of them to assume I got a partner at 18-20.”
Others shared heartfelt reflections, with one person commenting,“This is just what I needed to see today! Thanks!” Another called it a“sad state of affair,” and yet another added,“This is sad on so many levels.”
"There is so much precedent for 4 day work weeks, in socialist- leaning Nordic or Scandinavian countries to show that this form of ecosystem does not work as well as capitalism," Kamath said while speaking at CNBC TV18's India Business Leaders Awards 2023 earlier this year.
"If we are all agreed to the fact that capitalism is the way to go, the very thing that we need to cherish is competitiveness. Everybody needs to be able to compete with everybody. If you want to compete by the number of hours of work, you should be able to do it," he added.
