China has issued its most detailed warning yet against the excessive-work culture that pervades the country’s largest corporations, as a backlash grows against the punishing demands of the private sector.
I had a good friend who worked a 996 job, despite the fact that it was illegal. I kept telling them and their coworkers to go to the labor bureau with evidence (of that plus of a slew of other illegal practices) but they always put it off. It was very frustrating.
The work. I don’t imagine many people would work such a schedule unless they had a reason for it. And for the proletariat the most obvious reason I can think of is money
Oh not particularly. The job was advertised as a slightly higher than average graduate wage, but obviously they didn’t advertise real hours or the fact that you’d be fined for not meeting metrics and things like that. My friend left within 3 months of starting and apparently that was very normal at that company, they’d just churn through young people looking for their first real job.

It’s the worst when the laws like this don’t get enforced.
Lmfao your username
Did your friend think it was profitable?
Was what profitable? The work or going to the government to complain?
