>Now, the surge in interest in 996 demonstrates the pendulum has swung the other way. It echoes Elon Musk’s “extremely hardcore” ultimatum to X employees, which encouraged them to work punishing hours.

>Globally, though, 996 appears to be on the rise. This summer, UK-based venture capitalist Harry Stebbings helped spur a lively debate over the trend’s adoption when he argued that 996 might not be enough—and that truly ambitious startups might need to go even harder to keep up. “The truth is, China’s really doing ‘007’ now—midnight to midnight, seven days a week, and they just have a rotational workforce,” he says. “If you want to build a $100 million company, you can do it on five days a week. But if you want to build a $10 billion company, you have to work seven days a week.”

Come on wagie, time for the 12 hours a day six days a week cage, think about your boss, he need a new yacht

I only worked that hard for my own biz I owned, because I made twice as much money during that period and I grew it to where I was able to sell it and retire young.
The fuck I’d work that hard for anyone but myself.

This is incompatible with the Western mindset and they know it. They've been watching China for so long they're starting to wear the same clothes.

It sucks, I've been doing this at a factory for the past 10 years. Only thing that keeps me sane is the 6 weeks of vacation time (I use 3 weeks at a time every 6 months) and the fact I'll be able to retire without a college degree before I'm 50. But I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
