The tough CEO: no work-life balance, only stress and job pressure!

The 22-year-old Daksh Gupta, CEO of Greptile, causes a sensation in the world of work after revealing the brutal working conditions in his company in an X-contribution. According to Gupta, there are no work-life balance in Greptile and the employees have to work up to 80 hours a week. In his postings he emphasizes: "The typical working days start at nine in the morning and end at 11 p.m., often later." This has led to a storm of indignation, with Gupta stating that his inbox has now been composed 20 percent of murder threats and 80 percent from job -hungry candidates. Guppa further explains that he has nothing against a work-life balance, but it is important to him that future employees will be informed about the actual working conditions right from the start instead of being surprised on the first working day.

The reactions to its controversial statements are mixed. While some users praise Gupta for his honesty, others warn of the risk of losing valuable employees if no adequate balance between work and leisure is offered. Critics express concerns that excessive working hours can lead to higher fluctuation in the long term, which could harm the company. Guppa admitted that the way he propagated was not sustainable and should only be used during the initial phase of a start-up. In addition to the controversy about Gupa, a study also reports that the Work-Health Balance (WHB) is of enormous importance for employee satisfaction, since it highlights the effect of health management on the efficiency and satisfaction of employees.

According to a current survey, health is viewed as important as family obligations in the context of work-life balance. Research shows that it is crucial to take different areas of life into account in order to meet the needs of a heterogeneous worker. Older employees and people with health problems in particular need appropriate support to achieve a balance between work requirements and health needs. A reasonable WHB can lead to higher professional satisfaction, which is essential for the long -term productivity of the employees, as in the article by PMC
