Whether it is in the pre-sale of the box office or the number of people who want to see the online platform in the early stage, the performance of Unfamiliar Life is quite satisfactory.

Programmers are under great pressure. "Work 996, sick ICU"" should be paid attention to.

  On GitHub, a well-known code hosting platform in the programmer circle, someone initiated a project called "996.ICU", which means "Work 996, sick ICU". "996" is the working state of programmers in many enterprises, working from 9 am to 9 pm, working six days a week. This project has been responded by a large number of programmers. Since it was registered on March 26th, the number of Star has exceeded the integer mark of 150,000 by April 2nd, indicating that at least 150,000 programmers have paid attention to this project.

  At present, this topic has also been extended to other network platforms and continues to ferment. Programmers are not only concerned about the violation of their rights and interests by the "996" working system and the harm to their health and family life, but also worry about their jobs. Although employees go to work in "996", once the enterprise strategy is adjusted or the capital chain is limited, the entire industrial cluster is often abolished, and the jobs may be lost at any time. Even if we work hard in "996", the development of the enterprise is singing all the way. There are many examples of programmers being laid off after reaching the "ceiling age" of 35 years old, which makes them worry about their career future.

  Faced with this topic, some people will say that since they are not satisfied with "996", they should change their jobs. The problem is that there are dozens of "996" enterprises named by programmers on "996.ICU", among which there are many well-known enterprises in the industry. In other words, even if programmers jump ship and go to different enterprises in different cities, it is still difficult to escape from the clutches of "996". Some enterprises even regard "996" as the so-called corporate culture, and openly ask employees to implement it. At the beginning of this year, there were enterprises that openly asked employees to implement the "996" working system and were investigated by the local labor inspection department.

  In fact, "996", regarded as a successful experience by individual entrepreneurs, is itself suspected of breaking the law. It is clearly stipulated in the Labor Law that "the state practices a working-hour system in which workers work no more than eight hours a day and 44 hours a week on average." According to the "996" calculation, one hour lunch break is removed every day, and the working hours of employees are as high as 11 hours and 66 hours a week.

  For overtime, the law stipulates that "generally, it shall not exceed one hour per day", and "it shall not exceed three hours per day and thirty-six hours per month" on the premise of "ensuring the health of workers" for special reasons, and the premise of overtime is "after consultation with trade unions and workers". Then, regardless of whether overtime is negotiated or not, if it is calculated by four weeks per month, the overtime time of "996" is as high as 104 hours per month, which is nearly three times as much as the upper limit stipulated by the state.

  More crucially, on the one hand, many enterprises regard "996" as chicken soup in the workplace, on the other hand, they not only lack corresponding compensatory time off, but also fail to pay employees overtime pay on weekdays and holidays in full. It is self-evident who will benefit from the "996" working system. At the same time, many enterprises have implemented the invisible "996" working system in order to avoid legal risks, that is, they don’t publicly ask for this working time. However, in actual work, no one dares to leave the company before 9: 00 pm, and no one dares not to work overtime on Saturday, because those who leave work by the hour and those who don’t work overtime are often excluded and criticized in the corresponding evaluation system, and are detained as "not aggressive"

  As more and more programmers fall into the "996" working system, the relevant departments should do something. We should know that behind programmers’ overtime work, the supporting departments of their enterprises will also work overtime, and these enterprises are powerful enterprises in the industry. In order to adapt to their working hours, employees of business-related enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the industry naturally have to work overtime, leading to the expansion of the "996" working system.
