Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yes I know it's le ebil Shenzhen 996 Work schedule

comments from r/Trueanon

I feel like China's invocation in this article is to make the argument to adopt these labor practices so we can "keep pace" with the CCP.

Of course, we have no plans to adopt China's stance on public investment in infrastructure, research, or transportation. Those are all frivolous uses of taxpayer dollars. If we just commit to work more hours per week than they do, we will surely prevail.

{Stupid} asf, jack ma was inspired by tales of us dropouts living in the office during their startups

literally the progenitors of the practice goin "wut r we da asans???" fuck off

progenitors of two shots to the back of the head goin "dae russian window??"

americans love being hypocrites and love even more to drop a "uhm wataboutism" when you point this out

six day a week 12s?! You may as well just sleep at work! And only one day off???? Have you met nurses? Stand practice is either 10s or 12s, but still at a max of 40 hours per week. Let me tell you, the only thing keeping them going is the 3/4 day weekends. This is how you guarantee some postal shit happens at your workplace.

Those hours are the norm in Guatemala’s tourist industry. One of my friends worked his ass off for months so he could enjoy a two day vacation in Mexico.
