Should US follow 996?

Lot's of entitled folks in tech who care more about "extra Covid vacation" days or pronouns than actually doing quality work in a timely fashion. Lots of PM's on TikTok sipping Pina Coladas by the pool doing god know what! With an oncoming recession, wouldn't it be in the best interest of everyone if those of us in the tech industry hardened the eff up and go full throttle 996? TC 310k, work hours - 9 to 9 (sometimes even later) 5 days a week with extra hours during the weekend, TT #inJassyWeTrust

This is amazon shit only

Better not apply to Amazon during the upcoming recession when you are out of a job. On second thoughts, you wont raise the bar so best that you continue passing commentary on Blind as you will have a lot of time.

I will fucking clap whoever thinks this shit is a good idea. People will drop dead doing 9 to 9 for life. Almost like some people forget how violence gave us the 9 to 5. Management is getting greedy.

OP is probably trolling, but this. People literally died to give us 40 hour work weeks, and this character wants to give it away.

Best not to make threats - physical or verbal. Make your argument and try convincing people on the merits of whatever it is that you are proposing.

Keep that commie shit out of here. The US already works more hours than most EU countries. 996 is fucking insane, and only insecure people who think they aren't good enough would do it here.

Bro how's 996 commie shit😂😂. It's an outcome of lack of labor regulations

HelloFresh wall-e2077 Aug 8, 2022

It’s commie shit because it is followed religiously in a commie country and just like everything they do now trying to export this to other countries .

Plenty of junior engineers/bootcamper willing to work 996. Hire them if company think 996 will save them declining business revenue

When layoffs hit, people will automatically come back to work. The market balances itself out....If lot of coasters exist, the company stock will eventually go down. Good leaderd like google warn employees beforehand. If the warning isnt noticed, rhey may have to bear the consequences Also i know one guy who works 996 is much less productive than another guy who works half is time. And another guy who works only 4 hours a week and has 0 productive value. The second guy is the most useful for any company.

It's 100% counterproductive. First of all, you're not even more efficient that way. Second, if you do accomplish short term better results, it's simply an opportunity for other people to be fired as not needed. Or to just coast.

I love extra covid vacation days and pronouns. And I can do solid work with schedule more like 934 than 996. What's the company you're talking about again?
