‘80-hour weeks aren't extreme': Indian founder in San Francisco backs 14-hour workdays
An Indian entrepreneur based in San Francisco has sparked a discussion around hustle culture and the realities of modern entrepreneurship after offering a glimpse into her daily work routine. Neha Suresh, the founder, shared a fast-forwarded video on X (formerly Twitter) featuring herself and her co-founder, Akash, working quietly at separate desks in a minimalist home office. An Indian founder's intense take on work ethic stirred online discussion,(X/Neha_Suresh_M) (Also read: Indian startup employee says toxic culture, work till 2:30 am led to heart attack) Alongside the video, Suresh shared her thoughts on the level of commitment required to build a successful company. "If you're not spending 14+ hours a day working on your dream you're ngmi. You can't build a world-changing product on 9 to 5 energy. 80-hour weeks aren't extreme. It's baseline," she wrote. Check out the post here: The post, clearly aimed at fellow founders and aspiring entrepreneurs, quickly gained traction online, amassing over 38k views and prompting mixed reactions from users. Internet reacts In the comments section, while some users admired Suresh's dedication and drive, others raised concerns about whether such a lifestyle is realistic or sustainable for everyone. One user wrote, 'I love the passion and dedication you bring to your dreams, Neha, though I'm not sure that working 14 hours a day is sustainable for everyone. Maybe world-changing products can be built on different kinds of energy — not just the 9 to 5 or 80-hour kind.' (Also read: Indian founder cancels ₹22LPA job offer over candidate's LinkedIn remarks: 'Derogatory towards religious communities') Another user showed support, writing, 'I agree with your baseline.'

US Entrepreneur Faces Backlash For Promoting Overwork Culture: "Mother Didn't Raise No Quitter"
A US-based startup co-founder is being criticised on LinkedIn for promoting a culture of overwork, disguised as ambition. Emilio Van Cotthem, co-founder of the internship platform Subscription Intern, shared a screenshot of his tightly packed weekend calendar, claiming he "collapsed" from exhaustion. However, he quickly backtracked, presenting his gruelling 31-meeting weekend as a point of pride. "I had 31 meetings this weekend. I collapsed," the entrepreneur wrote, before adding, "Psych - mother didn't raise no quitter." In the following lines, he continued: "You want to stay ahead? You have to work when your competition is 'unplugging.' Steve Jobs didn't take weekends off - neither do I. Work-life balance? Cool. I'll balance later - after I win." The post quickly gained traction online, with many criticising Mr Cotthem not only for the tone of his post, but also for promoting a culture of overwork. "Bro this ain't nothing to celebrate. We have one life to live, and your company and clients aren't coming to your funeral," wrote one user. "Good for you if that is what drives you. If you collapse from a stroke or heart attack today, was it worth it?" commented another. "This is not the flex you think it is," remarked a third user. "I thought this was satire," wrote one user. However, despite the criticism, Mr Cotthem chose not to retreat. Instead, he returned with a follow-up post - this time sharing another screenshot of an even fuller calendar and defending what he called the "madness". "People said I 'had no life.' They used my 70+ meeting Google Calendar as proof... But while they were criticising me from the sidelines, I was in the arena, getting my reps in," he wrote. The entrepreneur further listed outcomes from his relentless work pace. "25% conversion rate on sales calls - from hundreds of failed iterations, Doubled our sales cycle speed - we just hit our weekly quota on Wednesday, Record-breaking customer satisfaction - referrals are flowing, And I've never been more locked in, fulfilled, or obsessed with the mission," he wrote. "I'm not saying hustle porn is the answer. But I am saying mastery takes volume. Most people want results. Very few want the repetition required to earn them. So no, I don't regret it. Because these reps built the foundation for everything that's working now," he concluded. However, social media users continued to criticise him. "Wasting a weekend on pointless meetings which gets no one ahead. The only thing you are winning at is being the biggest pain in the a** in those people's lives," one user wrote.

Software company lays off 150 employees to replace them with AI months after company CEO defended buying private jet for himself
Representative Image Jira software maker Atlassian has laid off 150 employees, a report claims. The affected roles in the Australian tech company are reportedly being replaced by new artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The latest round of job cuts comes months after Atlassian's billionaire CEO and co-founder, Mike Cannon-Brookes, defended his purchase of a private jet. In March, Cannon-Brookes took to professional networking site LinkedIn to defend his decision to acquire a Bombardier 7500, an aircraft which is believed to cost over US$75 million, stating that this purchase would allow him to be a "present dad." The latest layoffs were also reportedly defended by Atlassian's other co-founder and former CEO Scott Farquhar. How Atlassian CEO informed its employees about the layoffs According to a report by SkyNews Australia, Atlassian employees who were impacted in this round of job cuts were informed of the job cuts via a pre-recorded video message from Cannon-Brookes. In the video, seen by the publication, the CEO spoke from a home office in a faded green hoodie. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AirSense 11 – Smart tech for deep sleep ResMed Buy Now Undo However, the Cannon-Brookes did not name the affected individuals, who reportedly had to wait 15 minutes for an email confirming their status. Impacted staff had their laptops blocked, but are expected to receive payment for the next six months, the report noted. Meanwhile, Farquhar, Atlassian's other cofounder, has also reportedly defended the layoffs, saying that Australia's copyright laws should be updated to allow AI companies unrestricted access to mine data. In a statement to the Sydney Morning Herald, Farquhar said: ' If we make call centre staff more productive, people aren't going to call more [and] we'll probably need less call centre staff. Some parts of our economy will grow significantly as AI makes them more productive, and some parts of our economy will shrink as we do that.' Earlier this year, Atlassian faced criticism for Cannon-Brookes buying a personal jet for upwards of $75 million despite his support for climate action and promotion of solar power. He has reportedly been investing heavily in eco-friendly projects, including a solar power cable from Darwin to Singapore. In a post shared on LinkedIn, Cannon-Brookes wrote: 'There are a couple of reasons I've purchased a plane. Personal security is the primary reason (an unfortunate reality of my world), but also so I can run a global business from Australia, and still be a constantly present dad.' 5 Tips to Get the Best Deals during sale on Amazon, Flipkart and other online websites AI Masterclass for Students.
