One of the hottest topics on the Internet these days is the 996 work schedule. “996” refers to “start at 9 am, leave at 9 am, six days a week”, the minimum working hours of the 996 system is 60 hours a week.

As we all know, the salary in the Internet industry is generally higher, but in fact, many Internet companies have a culture of working overtime. The salary of such work is high, but it seriously overdraws their health.

Earlier this year, Youzan said that 996 working hours would be implemented in the future, and the news that JD.com started implementing 996/995 working hours by department came to light. The issue of 996 work schedule is coming to a climax once again.

Recently, a project on Github went viral. It turned out that someone registered the domain name 996.icu and complained about the current chaos of 996.

Not only that, 996.ICU also calculated that “under 996, you have to make 2.275 times your current salary to be financially safe.” The link of labor law is also attached.

This project is not about any technology, but it is about every programmer in the country. 996.ICU means: Work 996, be sick in the ICU. As soon as the ICU project was launched, it quickly won the support of many netizens and became unprecedentedpopular.

So far, the number of stars and issues of the project has reached 10W + and 1W +. This is probably the fastest rising GitHub Star project ever.

What’s even scarier is that the project has been translated into more than 10 foreign languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, and of course Chinese, as well as traditional Chinese characters.

The release of the 996.ICU project finally brought out the pent-up anger of many programmers.

Another netizen launched a vote entitled “Expose 996 companies and departments”.

Does the 996 work schedule really work? Blindly extend working hours, every day with tired work, efficiency can really improve? No, the final efficiency is afraid that it will not increase a lot, but also let everyone work very tired, and even to a certain extent will affect their own health.

Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard. Isn’t it because you can enjoy a better life? However, with the implementation of the 996 working day system, the money earned by working overtime may eventually be spent on various physical conditions caused by overwork.

We can not accept overtime work, just can not accept overtime as a normal working state, even, our requirements are not high, only hope that the company can be in accordance with the provisions of the labor law to implement, rather than blindly exploitation. We can also volunteer to work overtime, but the mandatory 996 work schedule, sorry, we do not accept!

Finally, I hope every programmer can stay away from 996 and bald!
