'Die-hard Narayana Murthy fan': Employee's habit of working from office 7 days a week labelled 'red flag' in post

New year, new way for Narayana Murthy to make way to headlines for his take on the work culture.

In a LinkedIn post, a user shared a screenshot of her conversation with a "potential lover" on Hinge where the man revealed his work preferences to her only to be called out as a "die-hard Narayan Murthy fan(sic)".

The user shared that her "potential lover" enjoys going to office all seven days of the week, despite the fact that his workplace has a hybrid work model.

"I mean, why would you willingly go to the office every day unless there’s an office crush involved, right?" she asked on her post as she went on to label him as a red flag.

"Just to be sure he’s not getting distracted by the beauty around him, I asked him for a referral. And he said NO 🚩🚩," she wrote.

Opening the floor for other users to share their opinions on the man, she asked if she was overthinking or the man was "just a die-hard Narayan Murthy fan?"

She even attached a screenshot in her post where the man mentions that office is more fun for him and it is merely two minutes away from his home.

Her post quickly gained traction on LinkedIn and received over 130 comments.

"Your post is a clear example of how we aren't so open to views that don't align with ours," one user wrote as another said: "I think you missed the last msg.. 'The office is just 2 mins away from home..' Who will not go to the office if it is just 2mins away from home...People look forward to WFH just to avoid long distance travelling through crowded trains or car or bike, risking their lives to reach the office..(sic)"

Others found this conversation as mode to get gossip as one even asked for an update saying: "Check his company's post on Linkedin, he might be there with the crush. Track him down, and see what's up😂 and kindly update."

For the unversed, Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy has been on the news for over a year after his comment on the need for a 70-hour work week for the youth to help India's GDP grow. Recently, Murthy had also batted for a six-day workweek, as he claimed to take his ideology to his grave.
