So 'moderate' 996 work culture is okay?
Also, this is an article from 2021; has anything changed since then?

9am to 9pm 6 days a week. I've done similar in the US, but for a month or two due to staff shortage. Fuck that as a permanent schedule.
Man, sometimes when I read things like that, I realize how lucky I've been this whole time. Corps are just out of control.
In the USA, our overtime laws would make that schedule extremely lucrative. I worked a similar schedule one summer when waiting tables. I now work for myself and regularly work a similar schedule (5am-5-6pm+) 5 days a week, sometimes I will not work on Saturday or Sunday but sometimes I will work in the afternoon. I drive for a living, a few apps and my own service.
2020 was hell for me. 6AM-9:30PM 3 or four days a week. 10 hours the other 4-5 days. It was the best year I’ve ever had financially though.
I finally found someone and she just sits and watches tv all day. I couldn’t be happier. She’s always on time, only calls out for real shit, considers work a break from farming.
It’s been wonderful.
