996 007

Last month, in our company, we have a new project to launch, so we are very busy. Everyday we work from 10am- 8pm. On weekends, we need to be ready to work everyday. this means I have to check the data and fix some problems on weekends. Last month, I feel bad and even I think I’m depression. I think 996 is very bad work habit in every company, if you work more than 8 hours, the efficiency is very low. For example, in my first job, I work in ZTE corporation, so many students graduate from university and joined in ZTE. We worked in company for more than 8 hours, this company ask us to work extra day every week. I help to swipe the card every morning on Saturday. At that time, we didn’t have so many work to do, but company ordered us to do like that. So many people just sit in their position and surf on the internet or chat with each other. Every Saturday, we go to the gym and swipe the card in the morning, and went out to gym and play tennis ball, and come back and swipe card again. I think it’s lack of efficiency and waste time, because you should spend this time with your family or your friend. I think working overtime is very low efficiency.

Last month, in our company, we had a new project to launch, so we were very busy. Everyday we work from 10am- 8pm. On weekends, we need to be ready to work everyday. this means I have to check the data and fix some problems on weekends. Last month, I felt overwhelmed and even I think I’m a little depressed. I think 996 is a very bad work habit for every company, if you work more than 8 hours, the efficiency is very low. For example, in my first job, I worked in ZTE corporation, a lot of fresh graduates from university and joined in ZTE. We worked in company for more than 8 hours, this company asked us to work an extra day every week. I clock in every morning on Saturday. At that time, we didn’t have much work to do, but the company asked us to do OT. So many people just sit in their seat and surf/browse on the internet or chat with each other. Every Saturday, we go to the gym and clock in in the morning, we go to gym and play badminton, and come back and clock out again. I think it’s a lack of efficiency and it wastes time, because you could spend this time with your family or your friends. I think working overtime will deliver low efficiency/ It’s not productive to work overtime.
