Recently, people in China have been discussing 996, and even foreign media have been alarmed.
The so-called "996" is to work at 9: 00 in the morning, work at 9: 00 in the evening, work six days a week, and work 72 hours a week.
At first, a project called 996.ICU, which was initiated by a programmer on Github, meant to work under the 996 working system, and the company would send its employees to ICU, and gave ample examples of the Labor Law of the people's Republic of China as a legal basis. Echoing everyone's boycott of the "996" working system.
So far it's just programmer-wide discussions, and it's not until business bosses respond directly that they get a lot of attention from the community. The big guys went into action in person.
The first is Liu Qiangdong's voice, a long article of "the Story of the floor alarm clock", which means that he was lying on the wooden floor as a 24-hour customer service when he started his own business in the early years, as long as the alarm clock sounded like an earthquake. And he believes that is relying on this hard-working spirit of JD.com to go to the present. Although he is no longer able to work around the clock as he used to be, he is now doing 811648 (Monday-Saturday, 8: 00 a.m. to 11:00, Sunday, eight hours, two days a month, taking a long holiday every year), and now he can do 811648 (Monday to Saturday, 8: 00 a.m. to 11:00, Sunday, eight hours a month, taking a long holiday every year). He felt good and enjoyed the joys of the struggle.
Later, Ma Yun also spoke freely about his views on "996" in internal exchanges. He felt that "996" was a blessing and a great blessing, because there were many companies and many people who did not have the opportunity to think about "996." Because their company may be closed at any time. If you can't work 12 hours a day, you don't deserve to be Ali! Many people in this world want to live a good life and hope to succeed, but if they don't give more effort and time than ordinary people, how can they succeed?
The two speeches led to intense discussion among netizens.
Some people think that "996" is what, they can't wait to work every day, never go to the cinema once a year, young people should struggle. Even some Internet companies have 711 hours of work, from 7 a.m. to 11:00 every day, all year round.
Someone once asked Tesla's founder, EronMusk, what was the reason for his success. He said it was work super hard.. In a society where better people work harder than you, hard work is likely to be left behind.
But others have expressed their dissatisfaction, mainly from two aspects, on the one hand, work exhausted their energy, work inefficient, and there is no personal life. One netizen said that he was originally a love of life, but now gradually lost enthusiasm for life. Almost all of the time is spent at work, and I just want to lay out in bed, go out and have dinner with my friends and feel like it takes a lot of energy to go out and have dinner with my friends.
On the other hand, overtime pay is too little or no. When bosses talk about 996, they say they work overtime voluntarily. Although Alibaba has a perfect salary system, even 996 employees can be paid accordingly. But there are many other companies that implement "996" by setting a high performance rating and getting employees to be "996", that is, overtime for free. Some netizens said I would like to live in the company if I give 100k a month! 996.ICU also notes that employees will not suffer financial losses until they get 2.275 times their current salary.
Some people say that this is a new wave of strong overseas immigrant advertising, what is Australia's job system like?
Australia works 38 hours a week, five days a week and 7.6 hours a day.
Full-time and part-time employees have four weeks of paid annual leave each year. Temporary employees can claim unpaid annual leave from their employers although they do not have paid leave. There are also many situations where you can take leave, such as sick leave, nursing leave, and baby leave.
The point is that Australia has strict pay requirements for holiday and overtime work, and employees can report to the Fair Work Commission if employers fail to pay as required by law.
Holiday work
Different industries have different holiday pay requirements. Take the hotel industry, which often works on holidays. During holidays, full-time or part-time employees are entitled to 225% of their normal wages. And temporary workers have the right to receive 250% of normal wages! And if employees work from 10:00 to 12:00 in the evening, they get an extra 10 percent and 15 percent more if they work from 12:00 to 6 a.m. in the morning.
Overtime work
If the employee is required to work overtime, the employer pays 175% of the usual salary based on the employee's experience and seniority.
So if you're in Australia, employees who can work overtime at 996 are probably working overtime with their "rich" smiling faces on the back of their overtime pay.
In addition, Australians attach great importance to work-life balance and have enough time to take care of their families and leisure breaks. Work hard at work and do whatever you want to do at rest.
But.
But Australia's work system also has a clear negative impact, such as making Australian young people generally lazy than domestic young people, a road that can not be repaired for several years, a few people to carry a brick with them. Life is also a slow delivery brother, the train every day delay, unemployment insurance also raised a large number of idle people. And after the shift, I wanted to go shopping and found that all the stores were closed, because service workers also needed enough rest time and so on.
Friends who study in Australia inevitably have to consider whether to stay in Australia or return to work in the future, the two countries are very different from the work system, which kind of do you prefer? Do you think you have to work hard or work-life balance when you're young?
