996

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.

I actually kind of like when companies are upfront about 996 expectations.

The transparency makes it that much easier to avoid them.

The more upfront they are, the more normalized it gets which encourages other companies to do the same.
