Media: The "996" work culture in Silicon Valley is on the rise, a work model (from 9 am to 9 pm, working 6 days a week) that originated from the high-intensity work model in China's technology industry.
Although China has banned forcing employees to work 72 hours per week, tech workers in Silicon Valley still favor this work style and frequently discuss it on social media. This trend lacks concrete data support, but some companies have already explicitly required employees to work more than 70 hours per week, and even executives ask job seekers if they are willing to accept such work arrangements.
Experts point out that this high-intensity work culture may exacerbate industry homogenization and be unfriendly to employees with family responsibilities.
