‘Slim chance of sight’: L&T chairman’s expectation for employees to work on Sundays doesn’t sit well.

The Chairman of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), AM Naik, has sparked controversy by suggesting that employees should be willing to work on Sundays as well. During a meeting with employees, Naik asked them “How long can you stare at your wife?” implying that spending too much time with family can be counterproductive to career advancement. His comment has been met with outrage and criticism, with many accusing him of being insensitive and lacking empathy. Naik’s suggestion is seen as an attempt to push employees to work longer hours and sacrifice their personal lives. Many have pointed out that having a work-life balance is essential for employee well-being and productivity. The statement has also been criticized for being tone-deaf and out of touch with modern values. Naik’s comments have sparked a national debate in India, with many calling for a re-examination of work culture and employee rights.
