> In India, almost everyone overworks. No exceptions.
No offense, but the output of that "work" is generally crap. "Check the Box and March in Circles" legalism with zero thought about impact, output, or usability.
Which is why most BPO & outsourcing programs are a total shitshow.
I'd rather have 6 - 8 hours of engaged time directed towards specific outcomes, guided by effective impact measurements, than 100 hours of timecard punches.
I don't think it is possible to do any really high quality work when you are overworked.
Working under muse on a project as a technical founder is different. But for everyone else, which is basically ~100% of the workforce with a rounding error, overwork is harmful for good work. But this is how most of India works. Every sector is like this.
And, tbh, only the lowest of lowest quality of Indian students work in BPOs, nobody does it if they have other opportunities. That is why it is shit.
