A term taken from a Chinese proverb about opportunity in a crisis, ‘touching fish’ means being lazy at work – a philosophy China’s Generation Z workers increasingly embrace as a response to being underpaid and overworked.
edit: downvoted for asking someone to do basic research? after i posted a ton of links up there? I didn't even mean this in a mean way, i just want more facts. bruh
the whole thing about these China struggle sesshions is like, we barely have any info because of the distance/language barrier/propoganda machines. So any actual information on what is ACTUALLY going on is extremely valuable to me. I want to find the actual facts.
In this case it looks like we know the following:
996 is blantantly illegal. But workers, and zoomers esp are organazing against it. and Jack Ma, a huge proponent of 996 among other corruption, has disappeared. We do not, as far as i know, know if these Chinese government is actually doing anything about 996. I saw they can fine the companies in that wikipedia page, but that's not really a great source for real on the ground information.
Since the downvoter declined to do any research, i actually decided to look into it.
China’s top government media outlets are adding their voices to the debate around the 12-hour work practice in the tech industry, harshly reminding entrepreneurs to “obey the rules” and “avoid chaos.”
So at least they're saying it's illegal in 2019. I still cant find any links to what sort of enforcement they are doing to prevent or curtail 996 though. I would genuinely like to know if anyone can find any sources about it.
i mean, apparently they are if you believe reddit about what happened to jack ma ;)
One dude, and if he got got it was probably not for labor violations, right?
idk, why don't you research and it find out?
