Another 'Hustle Culture' Preacher Bites The Dust, Unacademy Employee Slammed For 'Glorifying' Working Hard

Recently, a debate on ¡°hustle culture¡± has been ongoing on the internet. There has been a clear division between people who believe working extra hours is what guarantees success while others prefer to keep a healthy work-life balance.

Twitter User 'Glorifies' Hustle Culture

Twitter

However, people on Twitter were quite displeased with an Unacademy employee when he started preaching to people about the importance of ¡°hard work.¡± Twitter user Hardik Pandya gained over a million views on his post after people came forward to rip him apart for his views on hustle culture.

Pandya was seen glorifying working on the weekends and clocking out way past your shift timings. Although according to him, Pandya was just glorifying ¡°working hard,¡± something he feels is a lost concept among the newer generations of employees.

People On The Internet Were Angered

Pexel

Folks on Twitter were certainly not on his side as a majority flocked toward the post to tell Pandya his misconceptions about working hard. One user wrote, ¡°'don't cry foul if--' it's always the 'glorify hustle culture' public that seems to be crying tho. If u r so satisfied by "working hard," why preach here? You shoulda achieved nirvana by now by doing all that hardwork. Go, chill, or do some more work. Don't waste time on twitter.¡±

Another thought that his perception of work was toxic, ¡°Wow. Way to blame the employees and send them on a guilt trip when they wanna log out at the stipulated time and spend their personal time on their own volition. Tell-tale signs of a toxic workplace & management who values employees not by their deliverables but their timesheets.¡±

One asked the Unacademy executive a genuine question about his management style, ¡°where do you stand on work hard because you love what you do versus work insane hours because my hustle culture manager wants everything yesterday? In your role as a leader what's your preferred way to set deadlines for projects and tasks?¡±

To which Padya replied, ¡°We do work fast but this view I shared is more about my personal style and what I like for myself. I don¡¯t expect them from everyone though, including my own team.¡±

One tied back the scenario to the olden times, ¡°Yes of course. Let's all go back to working 14 hour days, with no days off - since that's the best way to get ahead...A reading of history of mills & unions in the 1800's and early 1900's might be useful.¡±
