    Yeah I'm definitely not on the "China needs to immediately abolish all remnants of capitalism" train. What they're doing is working but 996 is definitely far too excessive to allow any reminients of. I doubt Mao would have stood by that

      Hell no. It's good that the workers seen to be standing up for themselves at least. Tech work tends to be scabbier than most other professions, probably because the pay is so much higher.

      I hope cracking down on illegal scheduling practices like this is on the party's to do list.

        Yeah a lot of it is work culture too which is why I think another, better handled, cultural revolution would be dope.

        Give the workers a chance to have some fun struggle sessions with their bosses who promote those bourgeoisie work ethics

          The official repo is interesting. They seem to be pushing for an open source license that includes a provision for labor rights which is interesting...

          It's definitely not a revolutionary socialist movement, but it's still a net positive. Encouraging working abroad is odd though. Especially because crunch and "freeform" scheduling is basically the standard in tech everywhere. Hell in California you basically live in your office.
