In a shocking display of work obsession, a Bengaluru woman was caught working on her laptop while driving through the city’s busy streets. The reckless act, captured on video, was shared by DCP Traffic North, Bengaluru, who issued a stern warning: “Work from home, not from car while driving.”

The image of traffic police stopping the woman quickly went viral on social media, sparking debates on corporate work culture. Many users condemned her irresponsible behavior but also questioned the extreme work pressure that might have led to it.

Netizens dragged Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy and L&T chairman SN Subrahmanyan into the discussion, linking the incident to their advocacy for longer work hours. Some sarcastically suggested the woman might be an employee of Infosys or L&T, referencing recent calls for 70-90 hour work weeks. Others demanded accountability from her company and stricter penalties, with one suggesting: “Cancel her DL permanently before she kills someone.”

The debate highlighted concerns over toxic work culture, with critics blaming corporate leaders for pushing employees to unhealthy extremes.
