Will they be introducing company stores next?
I wouldn't do it for money... I'd do it for a SHITLOAD of money (and then collect unemployment once the bubble bursts, as a soft-retirement)
Management is on 1034.
I gots to find me one of those jobs. My wife and I are in middle management and are more like 10-12 hour days, 5 to 6 days a week. I’m not a fan.
Yes, work yourself to death for the profits of the oligarchy, you morons. See what thanks you get.
A sense of pride and accomplishment, right?
Right..........?
Capitalists going to capitalist
Culture revolution, 996, USA has imported so many good stuff from China. Next one should be removing president term limit I guess?
Already on that. In progress.
USA hasn't yet built anything like "three gorges" hydroelectric plant, tho
We did enough environmental damage with other stuff so that the mega hydro plant is not necessary
Suppose I agree, but the plant is cool.
Mega-NPP maybe?
that probably goes along with that $20M zuck offered to AI professionals. Yeah, we'll pay you $20M a year, you'll be spent around 6mon into the job your productivity will be 60% so.. (taps calculator) we get f#ck all for a sh%t ton of money and destroy people... letsdoit!
Give me a devent chunk of the company so I make proportional profits. Otherwise, no thanks.
Yeah I start thinking about extreme property damage at 48 hours of work.
I'm pretty sure half these articles are issued by the companies themselves just to get people outraged and talking about this, just so that they can test the waters and see how many people will defend it.
Let's kill every billionaire, and we'll solve lots of the problems.
The French Revolution didn't prevent the rise of French billionaires.
Yeah, you need to do a yearly cull.
I certainly hope these people aren’t driving themselves to work with this schedule. In addition I hope no one on it has a heart condition.

The sweet spot for 12s is in having 4 days off per week. There isn’t time for anything in life on work days except work, sleep, commute. Thirdly, the first day off is a wash. Recovery. Like a nap that simply goes on all day. 12s are great but only with block scheduling and days off.
This schedule proposal sounds like something out of pre-OSHA, possibly intended to kill people. Live to work, not the other way around.
Oh, does that make Silicon Valley Already Existing Socialism now? Much heirarchy smashing, very worker's rights, wow
Reicht Wingers: Hey birthday rates in the US are plummeting!?!?
Tech Bros: Let’s make 20 and 30 somethings work 72 hours a week!
Reicht Wingers: Genius!
