Worth nothing that the few people who actually worked 996 in China were extremely well-paid execs that could employ people to do watch their kids and clean their shit, dine out everyday and retire at 55
Shitty dommed-to-fail techbro startups doing ai waifus are not going to provide that
Edit : Apparently not, I heard that from a pro-China travel bro so probably pretty biased

I take note, thanks for the correction
All my friends who do 996 said they get an hour for breakfast, 2 hours for lunch and nap, and an hour for dinner, so they end up only working about 9 hours a day
If capitalists are fucking you in the ass it’s because China’s capitalists did it first, if China is doing something positive then it’s communist propaganda, and if your capitalist country is doing something good then it’s a win of democracy over the authoritarian state of China
A lot of 996 workers aren’t / weren’t well paid though, it’s just liberal tech bro culture
Also I don’t think it was ever lawful
truly “AI” has given us nothing but shit and more shit
framing this as a new thing is incredibly dishonest. these kinds of schedules have been a fact of life in large portions of the tech industry for my entire career, especially in startups.
lol… that won’t work… SV people are way too lazy to put up with this shit… aside from the bros who think they’re going to be the next billionaires, but there just aren’t enough of them to make this a lasting reality
