Massive Protest In China By Workers Against The Current 996 Work Culture

For a long time, we all have been peddled the idea of working hard, tirelessly, in order to succeed. This toxic idea of success has been headlined by billionaires and industrialists in order to exploit workers and make them work hard without paying them a fair wage. This toxic work culture leaves many employees overworked and exhausted and quite often, underpaid too. Only recently people have started speaking out against the toxic work culture. 

Workers in China are doing the same. For a long they have been tirelessly working from 9 am to 9 pm for 6 days. This is popularly known in the country as the '996' work culture. This work culture was long celebrated by billionaires as an excuse to make workers work hard for low wages. Now workers are uniting in their demand to slosh their working hours. They refuse to overwork for billion-dollar companies and risk their own physical health. There has been an increase in deaths associated with overwork. Some companies have finally bowed down to the demands of workers while others still have to come to terms with it. The workers demand a safe and healthy work culture that doesn't leave them exhausted at the end of the week.
