The Toxic Work Culture : An Overview


"Anna's experience sheds the lights on the work culture that seems to glorify overwork networking the very human beings behind the rules", Anitha Augustine, Anna Sebastian parayi's mother road to EY.

    

   The history again open the new way of adding on death, "death by work".Unfortunately, India is known to have one of the most overworked workforces globally. Working is essential, just like water is essential for us to live. As our basic needs have a new benchmark - money - working and earning has become increasingly significant. Working hours determine our earnings, bringing satisfaction that all humans seek.


Indeed, humans are pleasure-seeking creatures, but extreme thinking and expectations can lead to stress and health issues. Have you ever rethought how a positive outcome turned negative, where it is the strength and firmness of life? The answer is clear: the mindset to make others feel inferior drives individuals to overwork.


Google research reveals that every employer and employee strives to take their business to new heights. I'm not saying it's entirely bad, but one should never try to force others beyond their capacity. Attempting to overtake others in one giant leap can be fatal.


History has witnessed that the new generation's desire for a luxurious life must be avoided, as it disrupts the entire life of individuals. Money has made people believe it can buy happiness, but in reality, it's nothing compared to the peaceful mind of a contented person.Remember the words of Imam Shafi (r)

اذا ما كنت ذا قلب قنوع ; فانت ومالك الدنيا سواء

(If you have a contented heart then you and the owner of the world are the same)


The mentality of the new generation to be rich and trendy might lead to frustration. Business leaders, driven by the desire out to do others, impose overtime work on their employees.


Everyone has their capacity, and no one can exceed it. Researchers have proven that the new generation's pursuit of a luxurious life will ultimately lead to regret, as it disrupts the values of life.


What a pointless pursuit it is! Seeking a luxurious life won't bring us good. Working overtime is another way to drain human energy and reduce strength. Neither men nor women can achieve both status and health; health will eventually diminish.


Islam teaches that Allah created the night for people to rest, emphasizing the importance of rest to regain our strength. The Prophet advised against overburdening workers beyond their capacities and instructed employers to share the burden when assigning difficult tasks. Never overwrought. Never mortify your body.
