996 would completely burn out almost everyone within, say, five years, but if you have teeming masses of desperate job applicants to replace the burnouts then that might not be as much of a problem for management as you might think. Companies like Amazon and Netflix in the US are certainly no stranger to the "chew em up and spit em out" strategy and it seems to work out pretty well for them. It's even basically the same situation, with prestige and money attracting an endless queue of applicants.
- tomxor 8y agoThat's not what I meant (although an understandable interpretation)... what I mean is this strategy is not sustainable because cognitive jobs are increasingly less about the immediate problem and more about the long term problem, driving people to work long hours addresses short term - but ensuring people have the full power of their faculties available will allow them to make decisions and create solutions that work long term.
