Indian Employee in London Rejects 5-Day Office Work Amid Rising Costs

Deccan Chronicle  

A 25-year-old Indian professional in London, Taruna Vinaykiya, has openly refused to comply with the return-to-office policy, citing high living costs and stagnant wages. Her LinkedIn post rejecting a five-day or even four-day office workweek has gone viral, reigniting the debate over remote work. She criticized outdated salary structures, stating that employees are expected to survive on wages from “5 to 10 years ago while paying 5 to 10 times the cost of living.” She also highlighted the generational gap, arguing that older employees enjoy financial stability while younger workers are forced to spend a significant portion of their income on commuting and office attendance. As companies worldwide continue to push for office returns, the debate over work flexibility versus traditional office culture remains a contentious issue.
