What do you think is the difficulty in breaking "996"?

Breaking 996 and rectifying illegal overtime, which is in line with the requirements of social development, but it is difficult to implement in many industries, many employees in these industries are still being asked to unlimited extension of working hours, it seems that all of your time should be unconditionally accepted overtime, and even far more than 996.For example, the Internet, finance , manufacturing, etc. The manufacturing companies I've worked for, for example, defaulted to one day of overtime and one day of training on weekends, with overtime pay of no more than ten dollars per hour, eight o'clock in the morning, and not necessarily at the end of the night, and the intensity of the work can be said to be very great, but the level of wages is far from being proportional to these.

Employees because of excessive overtime and a large number of family conflicts, childcare difficulties, and even sudden death of the news is common, but want to completely break, but the difficulty is very large:

1 deep-rooted concept

Many companies and enterprises of the management, simply do not realize the drawbacks of excessive overtime, they will be the efficiency of the work of a simple and rough with the They simply and brutally link work efficiency to work hours, take overtime for granted, and even promote the absurd "workplace wolf spirit".

By letting two people do the work of five, only three people's wages, as a way to economize on employment expenditures, this has led to an unlimited extension of overtime hours for employees, the main reason why the income does not see an increase. So the most stubborn obstacles, is this deep-rooted ideological concepts, in fact, this is the lack of long-term development of the practice, will only result in the loss of talent, the loss is not worth it.

2 unreasonable management mechanism

Much of the work is not the normal working time is not done, but because of a variety of redundant departmental audit link and delay, so that when you really do it, it becomes "time is tight, heavy task", and had to be completed through overtime! This is the problem caused by the unreasonable management mechanism. For example, a document that needs to be signed by several department heads to really get down to business, and the department heads are also very busy, and want to sign it all to run up and down for days.

3PUA management tactics

The boss in order to maximize staff working hours, endless testing of staff overtime limit. First of all, the early start time, delay the end of the day, increase the number of punch cards, and then is to find a variety of excuses PUA employees, the default weekend overtime one day to two days, there is really nothing to work on, to arrange some meaningless training, in short, must occupy all the time of the staff to be able to, and even call 996 "blessing! ". I think a lot of this belongs to the boss's bad taste, and I think it's right to run away from this kind of boss.

4 Competitive Employment

The intense competition for employment and the resulting industry in-roll is also an important reason. Many employees by the boss PUA feel that they have no irreplaceable, and because of the mid-life crisis, layoffs and other concerns, that must work hard overtime in order to keep this job to earn a living, but I do not know, this is the beginning of the involution. This will not bring any good results, but will only lead to an unlimited extension of overtime, reaching the "work saturation" state that the boss thinks, and finally, limited income, but the loss of physical health.

5Labor management department lack of function

If you want to completely solve these problems, but also need to make more efforts in the legislation and rectification on the line, especially the labor management department should strengthen the punishment, so that those who ignore the labor law managers really set up a legal awareness, rather than just confined to the verbal.

All in all, Jiang Shengnan's interview says it all really well, and you can read more about it if you're interested. If you want to completely break 996 and 007, rectify the unreasonable overtime system, and make your income proportional to the number of hours you work, you have a long way to go. There are a lot of difficulties and obstacles, but I believe this is the general trend, completely broken just a matter of time.
