Oh joy. Just when you thought the internet had exhausted all possible avenues for existential dread mixed with questionable life choices, we’ve circled back to everyone’s favorite topic: work.
Forget viral dances or questionable skincare potions (though bless those, they provide excellent distraction). The latest digital wildfire sweeping through your feeds involves talk of a potential 12-hour workday and the glorious, soul-crushing meme fest it has unleashed. Yes, we’re talking about the internet’s response to proposals echoing Mr. Murthy’s previous 70-hour week suggestion, now manifesting as the trending horror-comedy genre known as ‘Narayana Murthy Hours.’
Why is this blowing up *now*? Because nothing unites the weary masses quite like the prospect of spending even *more* time questioning their life choices from the uncomfortable vantage point of an office chair. The memes range from the classic “Ah shii, here we go again” (quite literally, thanks CJ) to intricate corporate ladder diagrams ending in a coffin. It’s dark, it’s relatable, and it perfectly encapsulates the internet’s coping mechanism: if we can’t change our impending doom, we might as well make a ridiculously specific meme about it.
It’s not just about a number; it’s about the *vibe*. The internet is processing the subtle horror of “hustle culture” taken to its logical, absurd extreme. ‘Narayana Murthy Hours’ isn’t just a trend; it’s a collective groan, a shared eye-roll, and a desperate plea for someone to remind us what sunlight looks like. Stay hydrated, fellow digital denizens, you’re gonna need it.
