    I looked for anything new on Ma and the 996 scheme but couldn't find anything on that.

    Shenzhen seems to be taking some steps to contend with the 996 system or the general extreme workload:

    From next year, employers must “strictly implement” paid leave, so that those “with a heavy mental and physical workload can avoid excessive burnout,” according to regulations approved in October and recently explained by the city’s work committee, the government-backed Shenzhen News reported on Tuesday.

    Although there might be loopholes to that:

    The document did not specify how many days of paid leave would be enforced under the rule which applies to “staff”, with the status of contractors less clear.

    Meanwhile, in Amerikkka,

    that basically says it all.

      wow, thanks for finding that! It seems like china still has a ways to go in enforcement, though at least they're taking steps. Hopefully with the nationalization of Alibaba and Ant group, those labor violations will simply cease once the goverment gets their hands on them. We'll have to wait and see, i guess.

      Regardless, all power to the zoomer vanguard and workers who are unionizing against 996.:red-fist:
