EY Employee Death: Wake-Up Call For India's Corporates To Balance Mental Health & Work Pressure 

Are you serious? Narayana Murthy talks about working 70 hours per week. Karnataka talks about 14 hours daily working hours. Either media is Hypocrite or Narayana Murthy and Karnataka Govt. Is Hypocrite.

Its in all IT companies More work more pressure 24*7 shifts But they ask still work 70 hours a week

in my opinion, The leadership team should quit

I went through something similar a few months back, struggling to sleep for over 20 days due to work-related stress. It led to severe anxiety and awful acidity issues. Thankfully, my family was there for support, and I sought medical help. It made a big difference!

Please call the ceo and question the company policies

What are Narayan Murthy's thoughts on this?

The reason behind such toxicity is due to poor resource management. Big four auditing firms charge on hourly basis from their clients for deploying resources ranging from analyst to managers. However they deploy less number of resources for cost cutting which increases the stress.

Its just not EY, most of all indian corporations are same big & small. HR = 💃🏻 Dancers whn bosses throws money…. CEO’s surname also shows culture…

Anyone who raised concerns or registered complaints (including POSH) strangely disappear from the company within few months. It’s easy in corporate work places to remove people from the work force in the name of resource cuts. So these companies know how to shush the people who don’t align to their toxicity. Do what we want or leave is their motto.

This is because of the failure of India government see how the company are harrassing the employee, without thinking the government are forming labour law to work 12-14 hour work then in that case they will make us work 18-20 hour work till employee dies. Shame on government who knows to collect taxes but will never thinks of employees protection.😮

Situation is becoming bad to worst in India for middle class..

So Sad,,,,Responsible person should be arrested immediately 😢😢😢😢😢

Govt want only tax not remorse. When govt takes away 30% of our salary our heart feels that because we have been working in a tremendous work pressure and earning every penny with lots of hardship

This is an Extremely Sad story for the loss of this Woman Anna Sebastián Perayal Sending this Woman’s Family My deepest Sympathy and Condolences, and My Thoughts and Prayers are with her Family. Why didn't anyone from her Work, her coworkers, employees, or employers Honor her Life, by attending her funeral. Very Disturbing and Sad story

The reporting Vishi himself looks over worked and stressed

Organisations do it just for compliance audit, not for employees…..

99% of the Indian IT companies have toxic work culture, they are treating employees as slaves, but with a positive wording and unreachable & unending targets. To avoid job loss, employees are stretching till late nights & weekends also. IT companies are unable to give sick leaves also properly, due to billing loss in dollars from the client, they simply ask to postpone sick leave to weekend :) HR team in IT company & Government / Labour Ministry are sleeping since decades in India ? Govt is there just to grab income taxes which is unethical. in USA, beyond 8 hours of work on weekdays, 1.5x salary is paid for every hour, and for weekend work, they pay 2x per hour, forget about money, we are humans first of all, work culture is very important, it's very bad to die before 50s even in 21st century. in case of job loss, why govt is not paying unemployment benefits ? why govt is not paying atleast health insurance ? why IT companies have understaffing issue since ages, instead of giving high salary, they can recruit 2x employees at half the salary, isn't it ? It's a simple common sense. why CEOs are sleeping in IT companies ? Wouldn't they feel bad if their son/daughter dies ?

There is stress in every job,the night duty, continuous night duty,the girl was young ,young suffering,which may be silent and now a twist for compensation or complaint for attending more than eight hours. The Manrega workers in extreme heat they toil and sitting in Air conditioned still collapse. The thorough medical check up every month. Not attending the mourning shows that no one is attached and this made Anna's mother got hurt.

Narayana Murthy, Chairman of Infosys, recently suggested that people in India should work 70 hours a week. The implications of this statement are already being felt, although it is unclear how many hours employees are currently being asked to work following his remarks. Before criticizing multinational corporations, it is crucial to hold our own leaders-such as chairmen and directors-accountable for fostering such work cultures. This issue spans across sectors, including private hospitals. There is an urgent need for regulations to prevent this from becoming the norm. Rather than advocating for a 70-hour workweek, why not propose a more balanced approach? For instance, introducing two shifts of 37.5 hours each could help employ more individuals, which is essential in a country like India where unemployment is rising. This approach would allow companies to maintain productivity without overburdening employees, while also giving workers more time for personal life and well-being.

There should be a time limit for working. Especially in the IT field and in Corporate sector. 😢😢😢

I dont why other news chenals dont coverageing this

This culture came from West. In west they pay well, so anxiety goes away partially. Because you enjoy money.

Even i am mentally dustrurbed with this work culture ....feel gonna die soon due to stress

I hope everyone paid their taxes

Nobody can stop toxic work culture other then employees

Very sad. The same work culture is existing in most/all of the Indian IT company. There is no standard work culture defined in IT industry which should be followed by all companies.. If we say, Indian IT industry has sub standard work culture/work-life balance, it would not be incorrect. The unprofessional management of EY must be forced to resign.

Let us make Narayana murthy to do fullstack role in his componany and work for 14 hrs to handle management,hr activities, financial activities individually... Indians dont overpopulate country.. This will help corporates like narayana murthy to become billionaires

This is bound to happen when we have a huge population and barely any innovation in the country with the products and services that the world would want. The only option left is to work long hours compare to richer countries which normally has 40 hours work week with overtime pay if exceeds 40 hours in a week.

Modern slavery take place in india unabated in new way . Government should interfere in it and fix the time of work strictly as 8 hours. People need work-life balance which is really need for physical amd mental health or face the burn out of brilliant youngsters.😢

Narayan Murthy !!! Gabbar singh of corporate world

Sutta Break, Chai Break, Coffee Break, Share Mkt till 6 PM, start work after 6 till 12 and then take pride.

Why the interview of employees is not taken? This interview is Just talk

Union govt minister should involve in this sort out this kind of situation in India, kindly call all MNC heads for meeting to discuss stress for employees is too much, Labour ministers to fix work hrs 8hrs , 9 hrs, so work culture, to reduce please oppointments more, they can allocate to other employees.

It’s not only for new joined employees but I have seen old employees getting into ICU due to work stress.

HR should be for employees not for the organization. If HR ensures their employees are happy and enough motivated, the company will grow to 5 x. Right now company is growing by 3 x but on the cost of the health of their employees mainly the fresher, juniors. Leadership thinks that under their leadership/management it grew by 3 x. They don’t realize that if their employees were motivated, it would have grown by 5 x. If Anna was properly motivated, her state of mind would have on different level and probably she would be living. Someone has to take a very deep dive and investigate. Take individual interview of their employees, start from there….

This is the case across the professional services business, IT, Consulting, have this toxic work culture...an NRN will talk about this with his 16 hour workday quip...I have seen colleagues battle BP/hypertension, high cholesterol, suffering strokes, there is a direct correlation with this toxic work culture and deteriorating health. This is akin to tobacco and cancer. There has to be a study and establish this and hold these companies liable. Like we did with tobacco companies.

Unlike the corporates, Big4 firms have multiple projects with greater flexibility to choose working hours as well as projects to work on. This is a shocker. I am deeply saddened by this. The immediate menagers should focus on creating friendly work environment and work life balance especially for the new comers, reporting into them.

Government should frame working hour and employee well being policy for service industries just like there are many labour laws for manufacturing industries..

What does the government doing to stop such situations? Most western governments took actions to balance work life .

In this compitition world ,Work pressure nowadays everywhere and you should be prepared to matchup to that pressure. You cannot blame to any particular person or organisation for the work load. You can either leave or develop your inner skill to survive in that atmosphere at any cost.

Jitin Chawla : Not giving the right information across, he is not discussing using the ML to find out the Favorisom in the system. Caste discrimination is at its peaks in the private sector. There has to be a government audit for all private sectors operating in India. Employees should be allowed to raise court cases for wrong doing but main topics were not discussed.

What a misguided panel we have here. Trying to make it sound that Anna passed away because she was young and hence unable to handle the stress. One panel member even inferred suicide due to the inability to manage the stress. Please be informed on the topic and sensitive enough to address the issue on hand on how toxic resource management has become normalised

Many MNCs that are in great competitive environment, have this toxic culture. Even many Indian companies have this. There are very few true Leaders in all companies. Most (95+%) are glorified Managers. When will Corporate employees ORGANIZE into Unions? That's the ONLY SOLUTION.

No one will answer the elephant in the room, OVERPOPULATION. today we lost a genuine person because of it. 🙏 rip

Mr narayanamurthy sir. Please give your thoughts on this incident

But some are asking to work like robot.

This is what when manuvaadis due to social capital sit at the top. Their forefathers never knew hard work, they only made the lower castes work for them. This is also the entitled mindset that made a IT Honcho said employees should work 70 hours a week. If only lower castes are given equal opportunity at the top, India would have been a developed country long back.

Not only in IT field.... Pg doctors and house surgeons facing more than that

even if employees would have wanted to visit her funeral , no time off would have been provided and targets are to be done

We spend most of the time at work place but they wont evn bother about our health... so we should onlly prioritize what is main for us.

Cause - people like Narayan Murty. whose daughter enjoys more wealth than British royalty but who is least bothered about common employees

Even in retail like Nexon Omniverse style union, .. They ask us to stretch till setting of floors .. I too Manage n forced to tke leaves..too much strees .. having knee severe pain till now am saved.. due to my rest. N God almighty saving with pray.. company will NEVER cares in now days..

Sue this company

Mentor system exists in many compsnues as soon as you join. The mentor will be a slightly senior person middle mngmnt position who guides the fresher!

Accenture, tcs, capgemini, infosys ask their employees to work 12 hours with manipulation that it can be seen as 9.5 hrs. 1 hr break, 1 hr travel etc. Comment if there are other firms which we should know doing these ethical thefts in working hours.

Pehle narayab murti ko bhi pakdo, jo 12 hours working ka gyan deta hai. Larsen tubro ke past chairman ko bhi poocho, jo 12 baje office chorne ko proudly flaunt karte hai. Agay ye devi married hoti to sasuraal walo par gaaj girti par these corporate are absolutely safe

This is will never happen in European and America EY

Not only IT even banks have extremely work pressure of sales.

01) media will earn by TRP 02) Government will earn by..probably😅😅..high election fund..May be 03) EY s PR agency will earn by "Crisis management"

I think it's more about making a law and claus that are monitored by the government so that like a taxi union? So that the employees have rights, because if you are a number you will be replaced by a younger person , and they know you are disposable,...it is also governments rule to make sure they are protected and employed. I mean in a start up you get fired in 2 months if you just say I don't want to stay back after my working hours. Sales jobs omg it is a source of stress if you can't sell the company product, the company will put the entire blame on you and ask you to stay back if you are in a sales team...you can't just treat that employee like that, he/she is working to build your brand...the upper management can't forget that.

All policies are there but just on paper. You can’t actually implement them. Saying with experience

So much hype about other incidents, but nothing about this one

Greed and fear!

Should check with racist angle. Some racist manager gives a lot of stress workload to some people whom they don’t like due to their racist mindset

Where is feku ji

😢😢

Ye dekh narayan Murthy

Bkl Narayanmurty ko question karo

Indian industrialists are earning more profits without work ethics Unfortunately our government also supporting to corporates only instead of public concern and Labour laws, Indian family culture devastating by corporates and Toxic work culture
