A 37-year-old man who works 16-17 hours a day at a corporate job recently contacted a doctor on Twitter to seek health advice.
Twitter user @HarshalSal67 posted, "Hi Doctor, I am 37 yo, in corporate job, current working hours from the past 6 months are more than 16-17 hours, have to give non-stop coverage for all global regions, I recently did BP check, and it's 150/90 and 84 min. Please advise next steps."
Dr Sudhir Kumar advised the man to reduce his working hours to half. The doctor also suggested that he should also ensure that an unemployed person gets a job, whose job Harshal was doing by working long hours.
"Reduce working hours by 50%, and ensure an unemployed person gets a job (whose job you are doing in addition to yours)," Dr Kumar said.
Harshal thanked the doctor for his advice and informed him that he has left his job. "Thank you for the suggestion, i have quit the job now because it was getting very toxic at the top. Left at my best high because I told my boss i can't be available on a weekend and then she said, she will have to find a replacement then, quit immediately after it," he said.
The Twitter conversation has gone viral, garnering more than 31,000 views.
One user said, "@HarshalSal67 16-17 hours of continuous work is not due to work pressure but it is the result of bad planning, bad management and bad resourcing!! And this sets the bad culture for others in the company too!! Start saying NO!! Things will change!!"
Another wrote, "Escape corporate stress, reconnect with mother nature, and earn from organic farming. Combine technology and ancient wisdom for a fulfilling journey in agriculture. Explore the potential of organic farming by combining cutting-edge technologies with ancient wisdom."
Yet another user added, "Must not have been an easy decision at all. Hope u find something that's probably something u feel enthused about, every day."
