Abandoning 996 and rectifying illegal overtime work is in line with the requirements of social development, but it is difficult to implement in many industries. Many employees in these industries are still being asked to extend their working hours indefinitely. It seems that you all Overtime should be accepted unconditionally, even far beyond 996. Such as the Internet, finance, manufacturing, etc. Take the manufacturing company I worked for as an example. On weekends, the default is one day of overtime and one day of training. The overtime pay does not exceed 10 yuan per hour. The work time is 8 o'clock in the morning and the off work time in the evening is not certain. The work intensity can be said to be very high, but the salary level But it is far from being directly proportional to these.

It is not uncommon for employees to have a lot of family conflicts, childcare difficulties, and even sudden deaths due to excessive overtime work. However, it is very difficult to completely break it: 1. Deep-rooted concepts

Many The management of the company is not aware of the disadvantages of excessive overtime at all. They simply and crudely link work efficiency to working hours, take overtime as a matter of course, and even promote the absurd "wolf spirit in the workplace."

By letting two people do the work of five people and only paying three people's wages, we save on personnel expenses. This leads to the main reason why employees extend their overtime hours indefinitely but their income does not increase. Therefore, the most stubborn obstacle is this deep-rooted ideological concept. In fact, this is an approach that lacks a long-term development perspective and will only lead to the loss of talents, and the gain outweighs the loss. 2 Unreasonable management mechanism

A lot of work is not completed during normal working hours, but is delayed due to various complicated department review links, so that when it is actually done, it becomes " "The time is tight and the tasks are heavy", so we have to work overtime to complete it. This is a problem caused by unreasonable management mechanisms. For example, a document needs to be signed by the heads of several departments before it can actually be started. And the department leaders are also very busy. If they want to sign all the documents, they have to run up and down for several days. 3PUA management methods

In order to increase employees’ working hours as much as possible, the boss endlessly tests employees’ overtime limits. First, they start work earlier, delay get off work time, and increase the number of check-ins. Then they make various excuses to PUA employees. They default to working overtime for one or two days on weekends. If there is really no work, they arrange some meaningless training. In short, they must all employees It takes up all the time, and 996 is even called a "blessing". I think this is largely due to the boss's bad taste. If you encounter such a boss, you should just run away. 4. Fierce competition for employment

Intense competition for employment is also a very important reason for the involution of the industry. Many employees feel that they are irreplaceable due to their boss PUA, and because of mid-life crisis, layoffs and other concerns, they believe that they must work overtime to keep their livelihood jobs. But who knows, this is the beginning of involution. Involution will not bring any good results. It will only lead to an infinite extension of overtime hours, reaching a state of "work saturation" considered by the boss. In the end, the income will be limited, but the health will be lost. 5. Lack of functions of the labor management department

If you want to completely solve these problems, you need to increase efforts in legislation and rectification. In particular, the labor management department should strengthen punishments, so as to make those who ignore labor Legal administrators must truly establish legal awareness, rather than just paying lip service.

In short, Jiang Shengnan’s interview is really good. If you are interested, you can read more. There is a long way to go to completely eliminate 996 and 007 and rectify the unreasonable overtime system, where income is directly proportional to working hours. There are many difficulties and obstacles, but I believe this is the general trend and it is only a matter of time before it is completely eliminated.
