@ChaiAndMiles No i didn't praise you in any way. You have all the time in the world is what I meant0 - to apply for a card, close it in the same day and post a half baked tweet without explanation

India’s obsession with “sitting late = hard work” is the biggest scam in our work culture.
Here’s the truth nobody wants to admit:
Most people aren’t working late.
They’re just sitting late.
Waiting for the boss to leave.
Stretching 2 hours of work into 8.
Pretending busyness so they look “committed”.
And the worst part?
If you finish your tasks on time and log off at 6 PM, you’re “not serious”.
But if you sit till 9 PM scrolling, chatting, and being visible, you’re a “hard worker”.
This is why India is burning out.
Not because work is hard,
but because outcomes don’t matter, optics do.
We’ve normalized guilt for:
• Going home on time
• Having a life outside work
• Spending time with family
• Pursuing hobbies
• Resting
Hard work is finishing efficiently, not sitting pointlessly.
Until we fix this mindset, our workplaces will reward timepass and punish productivity.
