not just china

10-12h workdays with 6day a week or more often 2days work/2days leisure are also very common in russia with $1-3/hr, it's usually low skill jobs like at supermarkets.13:58, 10 July 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gendalv (talk • contribs)

L.I.T.E.R.A.L.L.Y. M.E.; but that's not full 996. Frankly, 2/2 system is not too bad if you live "at work" in a personal "dorm room".

What's alarming, though, Muscovites here tend to work 12 hours just to avoid 9-to-5-related commute and the massive traffic jams. Worst thing is, Russian employers fail to offer a room with 4 beds for 4 different suburbia-residing workers, who would use their respective beds once in 4 days "between 2 long shifts". 81.89.66.133 (talk) 11:18, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Damn this is bad

Like actually, this is bad. But there ARE worse work policies. Kosburrat (talk) 21:11, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Break length

This article is really missing a portion detailing how different companies deal with breaks. RandomOneRandom (talk) 20:47, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are there "employer housing" + "996" combinations?

This article could contribute by listing some research on employer-provided housing to make up for the harsh working hours. So, how about a topic on how a residence right next to job place mitigates some of 996's drawbacks on employee's health and such?

Context: here in my area, we have "993,5" - 2/2 shifts, 12 hours, SOMETIMES you can sleep on a matress between 12 hour shifts, sometimes you cannot (therefore "hello, traffic jams!") 81.89.66.133 (talk) 08:55, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
