As India was busy rejecting Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy's proposal for work-life balance and a 70-hour work week in corporates, a woman faced unusual competition on dating app Hinge.
The woman found a match who loves going to the office 7 days a week.
Citing the man as a “red flag,” the woman wrote on LinkedIn: “I was talking to a potential girlfriend at Hinge, and he proudly mentioned that he enjoys going to the office seven days a week — even though his company offers a hybrid work model. “
She further questioned why one even prefers to go to the office everyday if there is no disturbance in the office. The woman further referred to the match as “a huge Narayan sculpture fan”.
“To make sure he doesn't get distracted by the beauty around him. I asked him for a reference. He said NO. What do you think? Am I overthinking this, or is he a die-hard Narayan Murthy fan?” she said.
She also shared a screenshot of her chat with the match.
Needless to say, the woman's behavior angered social media users. Some users say that the man loves his work and therefore should not be labeled as a red flag.
One user claimed that comparison with the Infosys founder is unnecessary as this man simply loves his job.
“Given the screenshot, let me assume things like you did…he loves his work…a green flag and a lucky guy doing his job is something he likes. He can work 7 days…another one of his bosses A green flag because of a god sent office…he is definitely not a fan of Narayana Murthy because his company is doing something to discredit him and want to work with his love for 70+ hours as a duty. ” one user wrote.
“I'm this person. Obviously, I don't work seven days a week or I'd go crazy. But I like to work in a running setting, so offices are more comfortable for me. Plus, I like to interact with my colleagues. Red here “Flag his company makes him work 7 days a week,” wrote a second user.
“Even I prefer to work only from office. This keeps us disciplined. Wrna ghar par rahkar to nahau bhi na me daily. And btw if I ask I won't say no,” wrote a third user.
