This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The 996 in China is far from standard, it's prominent mainly in the informatics/electronics sector, and it doesn't exist in the public sector as it's technically illegal afaik, just not prosecuted. Also, there's increasing pushback in China against it, and it's diminishing in scope.

You're right and I've edited that my pov is from tech side after posting but for some reason edit didn't confirm. Can't really comment on areas as I work in software but it's technically illegal everywhere including less developed asian countries but no one is actually enforcing this unfortunately.
