Corporate companies have always been in news for their
strict work culture and stringent deadlines. Sweden has already moved to a 6-hour
working day in a bid to make people more productive and happier. India plans to
follow suit and experiment with a similar approach. Labour ministry has been
following up on this since few years now and plans to roll out the new laws soon,
for both public and private organizations. Apart from reducing the working
hours, rumors also revolve around putting a ban on travel time of more than
30-45 minutes for work. Citizens are expected to work remotely in case the travel
consumes much of their precious time and makes them ineffective. Furthermore,
the pecking order followed in the corporate is also under attack. The
government is struggling with lofty unemployment rates. Since surveys attribute
high attrition rate to a soured relationship between a boss and a subordinate, its
relevance is also under scanner. In addition to this, a bargain to provide services only during sunlight hours is also under discussion.
Popular dailies and newspapers have already
published this piece. One of the India’s silicon valley employee’s response read,
“I welcome the remarkable consideration by the government for us.” Another
breadwinner rejoiced and said “I’ll vote for the ruling party in the upcoming elections. It paid heed to
my appalling job condition.”, on anonymity.
People look forward to another reason for cheer apart from
hefty salary packages which lures them to the Corporates.
Before I rest my
itchy fingers and you indulge in festivity, I would like to wish you a very
Happy April Fool’s Day 2018 with my this write-up 😊.
