Almost all employees in the corporate sector have experienced the feeling of being overworked and overwhelmed at work. Many spend late nights trying to finish tasks on preparing for an event or trying to meet deadlines. Work is an integral part of many of our lives. However, sometimes problems may arise if you can’t strike a work-life balance. Amid this, Roshan Patel, Founder and CEO of Arrow recently took to social media to share an example of how sometimes we forget to give ourselves time off from work.
Mr Patel uploaded a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter) alongside a caption “Indian engineers are a different breed.” As per the post, Mr Patel asked the employee to take some time off, but the employee said that he did not need one.
