Tyranny is not Tolerated

 Sri:


As we all manage life post pandemic, dealing with hybrid work places and schools, it occurred to me today that employers are flexible more so today than the pre pandemic world. In Technology, working extremely long hours was just considered the norm. There is unspoken pressure to deliver. This is a form of tyranny, no doubt. Now, more so than ever, companies are talking about mental well being. How nice of them, was my original thought. Then, it dawned on me that, in the history of mankind, while tyranny is not uncommon, it has always come to an end. Rulers, governments, landlords - no one is an exception, it is only a matter of time, some times it is years and in a few other cases, it is decades or even centuries. Ultimately, compassion for fellow humans wins.

Tyranny is not tolerated.
