I’ve been at jobs where 72 hour and were required. But in those 72 hours we are amok three meals and went to the gym. There was plenty of screw off time as well.
I’ve been working with Indians onsite and remotely for most my working life. In both cases for the maybe hundreds of Indian colleagues I’ve had, I have never had any impression they are more productive in any way than local/native colleagues. On the contrary actually very much. And most of us locally work 32 - 40 hours a week.
I basically have to deal with Indian IT call centers for a living, and I always try (sadly, not always successfully) to frame my exasperation like this: if I got paid what they got paid to do their jobs, and if I had to work the hours that they do, I wouldn’t give a shit about my job, either.
I die a little inside when my coworkers call them stupid. They don’t stop to think that their work culture makes ours in the US seem downright relaxing.

Wow, would be nice to see whether this corresponds with median household income, if at all…
I hate that I work 5 hours a week more than the most worked place in India.
How many of those are productive hours? I hope there’s at least 20 of doing fuck all.
