It seems that the karnataka Congress administration is under attack after allegedly putting out a proposal to add 14 hours to the workweek for IT staff. IT experts in the capital of telangana are debating the proposed change to the karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act. Hyderabadi IT workers, who already deal with long hours and high standards, worry about Bengaluru's move's knock-on repercussions.
 
They expressed fear that the measure will "legalize exploitation" in the industry, citing existing low productivity, work-life balance, and employee rights.
 
Senior developer Anil Kumar of a Hitec City-based wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital company expressed his opinion that the idea "feels like a giant step backward." "Working longer hours will just make pre-existing problems like stress and burnout worse. The idea that similar policies may be implemented here next is worrisome.
 
The feeling was the same throughout Hitec City's tech corridors. "While we recognize that there is pressure to complete projects on schedule, asking staff to put in more hours isn't the answer,"

Karthik reddy is an IT specialist. "Instead of just adding more hours to the workday, we should concentrate on smarter work practices."
Hyderabadi employers are likewise carefully considering the policy's ramifications. An international company's HR director, Komal Patel, voiced worries over staff retention.
 
Increased attrition rates may result from longer workweeks. Today's workforce places a high value on mental health and work-life balance. Talent may leave if such a regulation were put in place here, the woman said.
 
Tech professionals in hyderabad are likewise highly concerned about their commutes. software programmer nisha Rao said, "With the traffic in hyderabad, a 12- to 14-hour workday would leave us with little time for rest or personal life."
 
Workers unions in karnataka and IT personnel have opposed the plan vehemently, claiming that it will negatively affect workers' health and work-life balance. During their discussion with the Labour Department, the karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees union (KITU) voiced their strong opposition to the plan, citing research that emphasise the detrimental effects of prolonged working hours on one's health.
 
The discussion emphasises the need for fair and compassionate working conditions while bringing attention to the larger problem of worker rights and corporate accountability. Many in hyderabad are hoping that their views would help to a more equal approach to work standards as the plan continues to garner attention.
