Guido:The 996 Work Schedule Is Inhumane
- rpvnwnkl 8y agoA great wsy to use his celebrity. Very interesting to read through the tweets and see what people on that schedule have to say about it.
- lozenge 8y agoI don't think Guido's Twitter has much influence in China.

- PhantomGremlin 8y agoIn case someone is wondering what 996 means: Expected hours of work are 9 AM to 9 PM, six days a week. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system I think that's far past the point of being productive. People's brains just can't function at a high level for so many hours. Maybe a lot of the time is spent socializing, like Japanese salarymen do (e.g. having drinks or eating dinner together).?
