When N.R. Narayana Murthy suggested a 70-hour workweek, it stirred quite a storm. But now, a new claim of 90 hours a week takes it even further. Honestly, even the 70-hour suggestion sounded extreme, let alone this.

In IT, most of us already go well beyond 40 hours a week—pressured by client deadlines, critical deployments, cyber threats, and unpredictable challenges. The reality is, we work until the job is done, often without watching the clock. Yet, having a 5-day workweek offers a sense of balance—mentally, if not practically.

But here’s the thing:
More hours don’t guarantee more productivity.
Fatigue dulls creativity, decision-making, and overall output. Long-term growth needs sustainable effort, not burnout.

Let’s rethink success. It’s not about how long you sit at your desk but how effectively you use your time.

What do you think—Should productivity be measured by hours or impact?
