What does 1.996 work system mean?
996 (working system) (9: 00 am to 9: 00 pm, working 6 days a week), resting at noon and night 1 hour (or less), working more than1hour in total, working 6 days a week. And there is no subsidy. The company requires employees to work overtime according to the "996 working system", and the company will not give any compensation, including overtime meals and taxi subsidies at night.
This system reflects the common overtime culture of Internet enterprises in China.
20 16, 10 in June, Internet company 58 was exposed to implement the "996" working system for all employees, and the CEO of the company was denounced by employees.
At that time, the "996" working system proposed by 58 cities was that the working hours were from 9: 00 am to 9: 00 pm, without subsidies and overtime pay, and no leave was allowed. Since then, 58 parties have responded that the so-called "996" is only a routine mobilization, not a mandatory requirement, and its purpose is to meet the work demand with a large business volume in September and June.
Second, the 996 working system
The controversy about 996 is not that you don't want to struggle and work. No one does not understand the truth that "no pains, no gains". But advocating struggle and labor does not mean compulsory overtime. Effort is a struggle, and proficiency is also a struggle; Extending working hours is a struggle, so is improving efficiency.
Therefore, employees who oppose 996 should not be labeled as "muddling along" or "not struggling", but should face up to their real demands. The compulsory implementation of 996 not only solved the problem of "principal-agent" in enterprise management, but also contributed to the stubborn disease of "muddling along". From the perspective of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, their spirit of extreme struggle is valuable, but considering the different positions of ordinary employees, it is not only arrogant, unrealistic and unfair for enterprise managers to forcibly instill 996 overtime culture.
Eight-hour working system The national laws stipulate that the working day is eight hours. At present, all countries in the world generally implement the eight-hour working system. It is the result of the long-term struggle between the working class and the bourgeoisie. In the early days of capitalism, the working class began to strike and demonstrate for the eight-hour working system. 1866 At the International Workers' Congress held in Geneva in September, the slogan of "8-hour working system" was put forward for the first time at the initiative of Marx.
