Mahshamail Khan quit her 9-5 teaching job, where the Mumbaikar says she was being expected to work like a machine. "It was all about 'Don’t speak, don’t move and complete the task given to you whether it makes sense or not'. There is nothing new to learn in hustle culture," says the 24-year-old. Khan took the first opportunity she got and quit the job to not only become a city-based freelance copywriter but also become a UI/UX and graphic designer. “Companies today treat you like Artificial Intelligence (AI). All that matters to hustlers of the ‘hustle culture’ is that they are given the task and do it to their full potential,” she adds.
