Title: Not the 996 that Chinese Pinky Lai created in the 90s but it's created in China
Post by: theking on August 27, 2021, 04:05:37 PM

China says a media worker collapsed in the break room and died as a result of the country's brutal '996' work culture - and now the state is promising to clamp down on unpaid overtime

996 refers to people working 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., six days a week.
The practice has come under fire from workers, some companies, and now the state.

China says a media worker collapsed in a company break room and later died from heart complications. The person's unnamed employer was forced to pay the worker's family 400,000 yuan ($61,700) in compensation, according to a paper published by the Chinese state ministries on Thursday.

That's why workers need to take break during lunch hours like in the U.S.

Pinky Lai's 996 version was more pleasant than death for sure:
