    This could be us if we let our housing bubble pop, but the people in charge will never let that happen. Can’t have people being able to afford to live working 20 hours a week, wouldn’t be generating nearly enough profits for our masters.

      It’s been repeatedly proven that lowering the weekly hours improves productivity.

      So keeping the pressure is purely for fun.

      Just work 996. Working 72 hour weeks will do wonders for your bank account, and murder your personal life.

      The chinese way.

        996 is way less common than you people seems to think. It was a fringe practice in ~40 companies during the tech boom. It has since been made illegal and is declining from it’s already fringe position.
