Taking to X (formerly Twitter), a woman claimed that her job, taking over 12 hours of her time each day, makes her feel like she has no "self-love" left.
All of us have experienced pressure while working in a corporate set-up. Some jobs have high-pressure deadlines, requiring you to be alert at all times. Most of us have heard instances where people had to put their jobs ahead of everything else. They sometimes had to finish work while on vacation, while riding back in cabs or metros, take meetings while travelling, work overtime, at odd hours, and on weekends, just to meet certain targets and complete projects. Now, a corporate employee's candid reflection on the toll of modern work culture has struck a chord with many. corporate is literally taking 12 hours of my time in a day including traveling and all I do is come home and sleep. This is scary because it looks productive but it's like being a dead puppet with no hobbies or self love. i wake up at 6 in the morning, get ready and leave for the office by 7 30 so I can reach by 9 30, i leave office by 6 in the evening, sometimes 6 30, 7 ofcourse, then i travel back home and reach by 9 15 something, then I eat food by 9 45/10, then I sleep by 11 bc early morning.
