New Delhi: In the ongoing discussion about work-life balance, where social media users are sharing their experiences of toxic work cultures and unrealistic targets impacting their health, another post has caught people's attention for different reasons. Rona Wang shared a post on X, saying, "I talked to my friend who works at Microsoft, and he works 15-20 hours a week, plays League the rest of the time, and earns $300,000 for it."
It has been viewed more than two million times, and the debate in virtual spaces started among social media users.

People were curious to know about the number of hours worked in a day and how they can search for similar job opportunities.
Netizens React To Microsoft Employees' Salary
Microsoft is really interesting, almost like a dream! Most of my friends at MSFT work very few hours, feel no stress, make a lot of money, and want to keep coasting without promotions. They're the real glitch in the system, and I'm happy for them."
Some will be confused, and others will be jealous and full of admiration. One user asked, "How is that possible? Where can I sign up?"
Another used said, "This guy is living the dream while I'm working hard."
Another said, "I know others like that. A friend works at a big food company, earning $280,000 and working 25 hours a week. He never misses his kid's soccer games and plays video games. His only stress comes when he has to renegotiate a couple of big deals every quarter. The rest of the year is relaxed. That sounds pretty good, honestly."
