70 hours/week with 1 day off must become norm: Congress MP backs Narayana Murthy
I once had a job that was working me every single day 9 hours a day because they would not replace the 4th employee who quit, running a 24/7 location.
I told them that if they didn't hire somebody I would quit.
I gave them a week and they hadn't even made an attempt to hire anybody.
I offered to the manager that two days a week we would each take a 12-hour shift, so that each of us in turn would get one full day off each week.
My manager said no.
To my manager's shock and surprise I quit on the spot, and my manager and my coworker each got to work a 12-hour shift for the next 6 weeks every single day until the other person quit and they had to close the business down until they hired in replacements.
