Chandigarh, July 21

Of late, work-life balance has become something which employees prioritise over salary hike and other perks. Unlike older times, millennials believe in leading a life where they could accommodate several other things in their lives which are beyond just office work. Moreover GenZ is a step ahead and the testimony to this is a viral tweet by a company head, who claims to have interviewed a youth for the position of an intern.

She said the guy was looking for work-life balance and expressed his wish to work for not more than 5 hours a day. Besides he asked for a stipend between Rs 40,000-50,000.

Twitter user Sameera shared the post apprising about this guy, who stunned her with his ‘demands’.

I was interviewing a GenZ intern today and he says he is looking for work life balance with not more than 5 hours of work.
Doesn’t’t like the MNC culture so wants to work at a start up.
Also, wants 40-50k stipend.

God bless the future of work.
