I think we have given too much importance and power to work, even to the extent of being ridiculously stupid in handling it. Every now and then we come across people attending online meetings while travelling on an autorickshaw and even sitting in the backseat of a bike! People work during vacations and on weekends – it’s almost like sacrificing even basic needs because of work.
For example, someone took a video of a man walking on the road with his laptop in hand and attending an online meeting. This was recorded somewhere in the bustling streets of Bengaluru. I mean, even while walking on the footpath, people think about attending a meeting!
Wearing a set of earphones and dressed in complete office wear, the man is seen walking on the footpath and attending the meeting, while a fleet of cars cross him on the main road.
Have a look:

However, people online weren’t impressed. Instead, they thought it was stupid of the man to do so. Here’s what they had to say:

I think we, especially millennials, must take a step back and re-evaluate how we treat our work and personal lives, because this right here is insane!
