Kunal Shah's remarks are somewhat similar to what Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy said a few days ago when he asked youngsters to work harder if they wanted to see India compete with China and become number one or two in terms of GDP.
Makes sense, I mean, why should I enjoy any of my time while I'm alive? Seems pretty silly to waste my life doing things that make me happy and satisfied when I could be making some rando way richer.....
See, I wouldn't be so against this if there were a real promise behind it aside from some "atta-girl"s and "atta-boy"s. Salaried employees aren't going to make an extra 100% for double work. I probably wouldn't be half as productive, on top of gaining a disdain for life.
I can see right through Shah's and other CEO's plans: Normalize slaving yourself to your job just so that we can pay you the same or less in real terms.
