"855 working hours system" comes from "996". As we all know, different types of units, industries and companies have different working hours. Some places go to work at 9 am, while others go to work at 8 am. Some people get off work at six o'clock in the afternoon, while others have to wait until eight o'clock or even later.
In order to express the working system more conveniently, we are used to using three numbers to express the commuting time and the number of working days per week. The first number is the working time, the second number is the off-duty time, and the third number is the number of working days per week.

The origin of the eight-hour work system
The eight-hour work system was first put forward by sociologist robert owen in August of 18 17. He also invented a slogan, "Eight hours of work, eight hours of leisure and eight hours of rest". 1833, with Owen's support, compassionate factory owner John do Holti and others launched an eight-hour working day movement. 1866, the first international Geneva conference put forward the slogan of "eight hours of work, eight hours of self-control, eight hours of rest", requiring countries to enact laws to confirm it.
1877, the first national strike in American history began. The working class took to the streets to demonstrate and proposed to the government to improve working and living conditions, demanding that working hours be shortened and an eight-hour working day be implemented. Shortly after the strike, the ranks were expanding day by day, the number of trade union members surged, and workers from all over the country also took part in the strike movement. Under the strong pressure of the workers' movement, the US Congress was forced to enact laws on the eight-hour working day.
