A video showing a man working on his laptop while stuck in traffic in Bengaluru has gone viral, sparking a lot of reactions online. Many people found the scene funny but were also worried about the tough work culture in the city. One user noted that some people are trying to work 90 hours a week, even spending 20 hours just traveling, which is stressful.
Another user joked that “working from the car” might become the new trend. Someone even made a funny comment about a popular IT company, wondering if they paid enough for someone to drive a luxury car while working.
However, some users expressed serious concerns about the high-pressure environment of tech jobs in Bengaluru. They said instead of making fun of the driver, the government should focus on reducing workplace stress.
Bengaluru is known for its heavy traffic. A recent ranking showed that it is the slowest city in India for traffic, with an average speed of only 18.5 km/h during rush hour. People in Bengaluru spend about 260 extra hours a year stuck in traffic compared to those in other big cities.
Many are calling for changes in work policies because the long hours and stressful commutes can harm employees’ health and safety. Although the driver’s identity is unknown, experts say using a laptop while driving is very dangerous and can lead to fines or losing a driver’s license.
With more discussions about balancing work and life, this incident highlights how important it is for companies to take care of their employees’ well-being.
