Chinese government blasts '996' excessive work culture
Having worked for the subsidiary of a Chinese tech company, I doubt it's going to catch up. And even if it does, I'm not sure if it would be applied outside of China. Yes, I'm looking at you, TikTok and Didi Chuxing. "Workers deserve rights for "rest and vacation," adding that "adhering to the national working hour system is the legal obligation of employers," the court wrote." https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/08/27/tech/china-supreme-court-996-intl-hnk/index.html

tl;dr tiktok will have fb pay with G wlb?
From the Chinese sources I read, the government is worried this becomes a source of "instability" so only now they're enforcing work hour standards amongst tech companies.... Chinese offices also faces an issue with work/life boundaries because business and personal communication are all conducted through the same app
Good. No one should be working 996.
Meanwhile India gov is waiting for it’s first high tech company for the least 65 years.
What about Flipkart?
Good. Support CCP🇨🇳 support CPI
Pointless since the Chinese companies are doing that outside of China. It will continue like a badge of honor.
Nah, I bet you it'll change. The Chinese companies are very scare of the government. That's something very unlike western tech companies who stubbornly taut their culture through thick and thin.
An atheist, materialist ideology that encourages accumulation of wealth over family is finding that it's people no longer has time nor inclination to reproduce. That is not good for its long term existence. China's working age population has gone down faster than expected. TC isn't everything.
Yes, TC is worthless if you catch a heart attack at 27 and dies 🤣
It’s gonna catch up. Wlb has been getting better along with every modern economic growth everywhere.
Chinese companies pay for the extra hours. Reportedly, many in Byte-dance received a 17% pay cut.
