The chairman of Larsen & Toubro has come under fire for saying that employees must work 90 hours a week.
During an employee interaction, SN Subrahmanyan was asked why Larsen & Toubro, a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, was still making its employees work on Saturdays.
Subrahmanyan replied that he regrets not being able to make his employees work on Sunday too.
If I can make you work on Sundays, I will be more happy, because I work on Sundays,” Subrahmanyan was heard saying in an undated video that has emerged on Reddit.
Asked why that is, the Chinese man claimed that Chinese people work 90 hours a week, while Americans work only 50 hours a week.
If you have got to be on top of the world.. You have to work 90 hours a week.
On Reddit, people asked why low-paid employees were expected to put in the same number of hours as a CEO. »
