Recently, the 996 working system has caused great discussion in China.At the time of the May 1st International Labor Day, it was necessary to talk about the labor rights and interests involved in the 996 working system and the issue of China's civilization.

The so -called 996 is from 9 am to work to 9 pm, and work six days a week.It is equivalent to working 72 hours a week.This work system is a normal state among Chinese Internet companies.Therefore, some Internet programmers created the 996.icu project on the GitHub code custody platform, saying: 996 work, sick ICU (intensive care unit).It means that sooner or later, if you work like this, you will break your body sooner or later.

For the complaints of the Internet employees triggered by the 996 working system, some star entrepreneurs claimed in the tone of life mentors that without struggle and hard work, they did not succeed and reward. Being 996 was a huge blessing.Reward.

This statement, even if it is only understood from a goodwill perspective, obviously has cognitive confusion and misalignment: mixing entrepreneurs and employees to talk about it, and the entrepreneurs and early partners start their own business.The work and remuneration of ordinary employees are confused.

For entrepreneurs as an employer, there is a simple arithmetic about cost benefits: 72 hours are 1.8 times of 40 hours.If the work of the employee is paid according to the same standard, hires a person to work for 72 hours a week, and the 1.8 person to work for 40 hours a week. For employers, there is no difference in cost benefits. Payment payments.The cost of wages is the same.

If the standards of paying overtime pay for overtime in China: If the working hours are extended within the standard working days, the payment is not less than 150%of the salary for salary;For a daily payment of not less than 300%, for employers, the 72 -hour working system of 996 is obviously not as good as the 40 -hour working system.

Therefore, only when labor than 40 hours is not paid or pays less. This 996 working system can save labor costs and increase profits for employers.Praise and implementation.

For employees, if the work of each hour is paid by labor, even 40 hours away is paid at 150%to 300%.denounce.

Obviously, it involves the opposition between the interests of both labor and management: the deserved labor remuneration that has not paid or pay less to the workers is the blessing of the employer as the employer as the profit.

Eight hours a day, 40 hours of working system per week, is a labor time system that is through in the world's civilized countries today. It is also part of the labor law in China.Over the years, the authorities and official media have been indignant to denied that some European and American governments and labor rights organizations have been denied, and the accusations of Chinese -sweaty factories in Chinese -sweaty factories are discrediting and fabricating.It's good now. Even such a high -end and glorious Internet company has not made a public recognition and praise for the 996 working system, which makes people unable to associate. Wouldn't those low -end enterprises be more hard -earned?Isn't this a handle that makes the authorities embarrassed?

For a long time, private entrepreneurs and wealthy classes complained about the people of the people.Judging from the controversy caused by the 996 working system, the emergence of Qiu Fu's psychology obviously cannot be completely blamed on the people.Rich and benevolent, take the way, pay for labor, instead of being empty and flickering, will be respected and help improve the relationship between the rich and the poor.

The 996 working system is not only a question of cost and benefits, but also involves a moral issue.When a person has hundreds of millions of wealth and lives in a mansion of 100 million yuan, there can be luxurious private planes to take the family to turn around the world, and even have some gossip in spare time; but those employees who are called brothers are sacrificed healthy health.With family life, you can't work more for his timeout, compare your mind, and what is morality?

The 996 working system will not be reasonable and legitimate because of employees voluntarily.Dedicated for free, voluntary dedication, as the basis for employee assessment and the standard of retaining. This approach is not essentially different from the hidden rules of the condemned film and television selection actress: that is, they are all using it.The advantage of resource possession is cheap.

At present, China has the pressure of the Sino -US trade war, and there is concerns about the retreat of the country in the country. There is a kind of anxiety and doubts among the private entrepreneur groups.Looking back at history, the implementation of public -private partnerships in China at that time was to create public opinion morally and fight for the support of the public.As a star entrepreneur in China today, it should be cautious to maintain the positive image of the group and become an example of obeying the rules of contemporary civilization. It is not advisable to become a public opposite.Silent ideological memory of capital and exploitation.

The emergence of the 996 working system also reflects the lack of labor law supervision and complaint mechanism of relevant departments.For such an obvious hidden rules or systems that violate the labor law, the relevant departments cannot turn a blind eye and do nothing for those who set the rights and interests of workers.

Without doubt, private enterprises and star entrepreneurs have made great contributions to the development of the Chinese economy.The fierce competition in the market economy, reducing costs is also the way to survive by enterprises.However, the survival of an enterprise cannot rely on the words of flicker, or the so -called corporate culture, saving costs in terms of employees' working hours and compensation to make articles.

Looking at the world, there is no business elite of a civilized country, and even no well -known entrepreneur in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It will publicly praise and promote a similar 996 working system that violates labor rights and interests.And they did not have career success and blessings because they did not implement such an unpopular work system.

The 996 working system has been praised by some Chinese business elites. This phenomenon shows that China wants to be in line with the world's contemporary civilization. Even for the elite class, even in the economic field, it still needs to be learned and improved to make up for the shortcomings.
