The list of working hours in Internet companies in 2024 is freshly released! In this competitive industry, working hours have always been a hot topic of concern. Are you still struggling with the 996 work system? Maybe this ranking will give you some unexpected answers.
Why do some companies continue to implement 996 while others are trying to reduce their employees' working hours? How do you find a balance between working hours and employee happiness?
In this latest ranking, we see some shocking statistics. Companies previously known for their overtime culture, such as Alibaba and Pinduoduo, continue to maintain high working hours, while ByteDance and Tencent appear to have eased off slightly and have even started to implement more humane work systems.
Good Thursday, everybody. Good Thursday, hit the workers!
"What monthly salary would you accept for 996?"
Recently, I was browsing the community and came across this thread where a user's question hit me right in the heart.
I am sitting in front of the computer, looking at this post, my heart mixed feelings. As a programmer, I know the pain and helplessness behind this issue. 996, this combination of numbers was the pain in the heart of countless programmers. Nine in the morning and nine in the evening every day, six days a week, such a rhythm of work has occupied almost all of our time.
What are your hours of work?
This reminds me of another post I saw yesterday about the "2024 Internet Company Working Hours Ranking", and my heart thumped, isn't this the daily life of us programmers?
Clicking on the post, a chart comes into view, with Got Thing and Poundland having the longest average working hours at 63.8 and 62.4 hours.
I remember when I first graduated, I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to do something big, but I was caught off guard by the overtime culture in the first week. At that time, everyone was talking about 996, and there was a lot of vocal criticism online. But gradually, the voice is smaller, everyone seems to accept this reality, after all, in the current Internet market, it is not easy to find a job.
Continuing through this list, too many familiar names are equally listed.
The names of these companies are, for us programmers, both the home of our dreams and the face of overtime. I can't help but wonder how those who once left because of 996 are doing now.
When seeing so many companies that work more than the legal 40 hours, the heart is still a little bit not good. 955 work system, became a luxury. Is it a proof of our retrogression, or a helpless compromise?
Aren't there any companies that follow the legal working hours of 955?
Some, at the end of the list, can see only a few "qualified" companies. And not surprisingly, most of them are...
Uh, you all get it.
What does everyone think?
Some expressed understanding that this is the state of the industry, while others expressed dissatisfaction that there should be a better work-life balance.
Other netizens mentioned that some companies have started to try to optimize working hours, such as implementing flexible working hours or offering more employee benefits.
Overtime seems to be essential if you want to get a foot in the door at an Internet company.
But really, what a lot of my friends, including me, care about is that the
Overtime is demanded on this side, but the benefits that should be given and the bonuses that should be taken are not honored on the other side.
Not to mention 996, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be fine with 007 as well, as long as the RMB that should be given is in place.
Otherwise, the work income can not do not happy, the body, the family is also delayed, is a person will weigh.
Say, guys, isn't that the truth?
Lastly, if it's you, what monthly salary is acceptable for 996?
Working hours are not only a reflection of corporate culture, but also a microcosm of socio-economic and industry competition. In recent years, as economic growth has slowed and competition among enterprises has become more intense, the culture of overtime work is still prevalent in some enterprises. However, as the culture of "lying down" and the demand for quality of life increases, more and more employees are beginning to question the reasonableness of working long hours. The release of the working hours ranking is not only a revelation of the current situation in the industry, but also a reflection on social values.
For practitioners looking to find work-life balance, choosing a company that values the well-being of its employees is crucial. If you're looking for a new career opportunity, keep an eye out for companies that are on the top of the charts for working shorter hours but still remaining productive - they may just be the ideal place to realize your workplace dreams.
In this age of information explosion, the Working Hours Ranking not only reveals to us how different companies treat their employees, but also provides a reference for working professionals to make choices. Whether you are pursuing career development or craving for work-life balance, this ranking is worth your careful reading and thinking.
