I don't understand this expectation that employees work more, and stigma if you go home on time, yet we don't have a corresponding stigma for when the amount of money that reaches my account is "only" what we agreed my salary would be.
Yes it is, it's fine if the deal I'm making is 996, then I can judge whether I'm getting paid enough. What I don't like is "you may have to put in the extra hour here and there" and it's 996.
