This video led to people criticising the toxic corporate work culture in urban cities like Bengaluru, where employees, especially techies, often have to work beyond extra hours including festivals.

Social media users were more than fuming at the pitiful state of the man seen in the clip. One user said, “Stop this nonsense the company will not think twice before laying off, so keep separate personal and professional time.”
Another remarked, “This normalization should stop otherwise all techies would suffer from health issues due to stress.” Many others expressed their disappointment at the imbalanced work-life balance culture in urban India in a similar way.
