The trick is, most work doesn't require you to be super productive. For example you could literally sleep through a lengthy meeting.

- wiseowise 3y agoYou can, but that’s still work time.
- hnthrowaway0328 3y agoYeah, that's why 996 kills people slowly. 996 is taking away your own time for the company, and most likely in a not so productive way. So you don't get the refresh, the first 1-2 companies which employs you get the most benefit because you are not drained yet, but companies later in the line got a used battery almost completely drained -- and that's why China also has the 35 yrs old rule.
- ketchupdebugger 3y agoalso at 35, you are more likely to have kids. Once you have a kid, you wont submit to 996 anymore, so they'll just lay you off and replace you with a fresh out of college grad
- markus_zhang 3y agoYeah. It's a vicious cycle. UNLESS you made into a lead or a manager of some sort -- but it's still rare and you are still required to do a lot of overtime.
