Google Translate:
Xiaomi, a Chinese mobile phone manufacturer, was recently exposed that many departments within the company require employees to work an average of no less than 10.5 hours a day, and some groups even work up to 15 hours. If they fail to meet the standard, they may be interviewed by their supervisors, their performance may be affected, and they may even be persuaded to resign or fired. The news immediately attracted widespread public attention, but Xiaomi has not responded to it yet.

According to Chinese media "Jiupai News", several Xiaomi employees revealed that although the company has not issued formal written regulations on employee working hours, most supervisors will verbally require employees to work long hours to avoid leaving evidence, and the requirements for working hours in various departments are slightly different. An employee in the mobile phone department pointed out that his group needs to work an average of 12.5 hours a day, while the average daily working hours in other departments are as low as 10.5 hours and as high as 14 or 15 hours.

A Xiaomi employee in Shanghai said that the average daily working hours in his department are 11.5 hours, so he must start working at 9 am and work until 8:30 pm every day. Another Xiaomi employee in Jiangsu revealed that he previously worked an average of 12 hours a day, but was still interviewed by his supervisor because his working hours ranked low in the department. He further pointed out that he was warned that if he still did not increase his working hours after the interview, his performance evaluation would be affected.

Standard 996

Work long hour ok as long as no office politic and after work drink.
Work short hour like France but everyday go office prepare like warfare also exhausted.

Problem is white ppl like to play office politic instead of getting job done. 914 also stress.

some china company kasi their worker 2 hrs lunch time some more, so 9am-9pm is actually work for 10 hrs daily

it is common in china

Why is this news?

It's common in all tech companies worldwide - US, India and certainly East/SE Asian countries.

xiaomi is the real :

meh, used to work 12.
didn't climb if i do just my part and go back on time

And what evidence you can provide to support the notion that China 996 no office politics?

Sorry itu privilege only for Chinese.

In Malaysia, you want to eat the canteen food? Please pay.

We don't bao breakfast lunch or dinner for non Chinese citizens.

We don't condone 996, our company policy don't encourage OT.

Btw this report needs done by tomorrow, boss want it. Cannot finish today at 6? Well, you better work after work hour.

This is part of your KPI, performance rating. Getting below A is penalty. You dah signed contract remember

Wu Maos encourage this kind of working culture

These cancerous culture doesn't work, Japan & Korean is first hand prove

The side effects is their people will breed less, population aging and economy will soon collapse

Only dumb people think that company provide food as the company benefit as a good thing.

but this is what the Japan , s korea , china did to catch up to the west.

They need to be more hardworking than other countries.

It is partly in their culture as they believe that hardworking will bear fruits.

It is sort of imprinted in their mind since they are kids.

i work longer than that everyday. never complained one bit. china workers are so weak.

china government has been trying to stop overwork.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/east-asia/c...ork%20on%20time.

Following recent pledges by Chinese government officials to combat overcompetition and tackle the brutal “996 work system” - the expectation of working from 9am to 9pm, six days a week - Chinese firms and companies have been stepping up, implementing official measures to encourage employees to leave work on time.

Writing in response to recent government calls to crackdown on workplace involution, Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun voiced his full support.

“We must oppose involution and firmly adhere to high-quality development,” he wrote on his official WeChat account.

“We must firmly advance towards high-end development, highlighting differentiation and personalisation, and consistently follow the path of high-quality development.”

lol, seems like Lei Jun is not doing it.

The west accept immigrants to replace the low birth rate

East asian is too racist and xenophobic to do the same

this is the original china man company mah... apa nak kecoh

This is abused

pffttt, that's normal, I am managing the entire APAC + US + ME, 1 day around 12-13 hours.

all the unker here bragging about shitty work hours

what is there to prove? your inept decision making in choosing a job? gah damn

misery loves company

i wont say east asian is too racist. it is mainly because they are confidence in their own selves. It is that confidence that pushed them to where they are today.

you could say it is a double edge swords.

West accept immigrant is not really to replace low birth rate, it is for the talents.

Actually the west have not much of a problem of low birth rate compare to Japan, Korea or china.

japan did and look what it did to them

This is why democracy is needed and not their brand of government

Because they accept immigrants, white people doesn't breed as much. They don't have toxic long hour culture but they do have other problem like cost of educations, healthcare and housing become unaffordable

What happen?

jeez.. 10-12hrs of your day, just for the company.
idk about others, but i would just feel sad or miserable spending more than half of my life and youth just for work and it's a work to enrich enterprises, chasing revenues for shareholders & stakeholders.
it's not even a society-contributing work like scientists doing cancer research, firefighters, doctors/nurses, those jobs.. where u could feel good in knowing what you're doing matter, u know?

996 - Stress
916 - Stress
911 - Stress
000 - Stress

i think u need to search yourself what trouble and destruction they did to japan

until japan even came out with signs that they put inside their train

No difference from big 4 auditors working hours.

if u work in lay still manner off course no issue

Got high pay work more lah. Got peanut pay people just lie flat only.

work so much, but mi ui software keep getting worse. ev also engage lock until cook alive.

north side even include 30min to 1hour sleep time

That just reflection of japanese xenophobia
To generalized all foreigner

trump will save them.
tariff = less work

Ade keja complain.
Tiada keje complain
Ade keje ular
Tarak keje ular

Baik takyah keje

Jadi ular

u call it xenophobia but reality is it happened
japan, EU, UK...all have very clear examples of it

only koreans don't tolerate it, they will beat you up

Asshole boss spotted.

(If you are a boss)

besok u takya datang

Work life balance is supposed to be 997.
12 hours work, 12 hours no work, 50:50 ratio, 7 days a week.

China CCP work culture 996 u don’t know, even in mal (China company) u rollover by cars bedridden u still need to answer your phone..Lolx.

No 50:50 ratio, not really work life balance, coz the numbers already unbalanced.

“an average of 12 hours a day, but was still interviewed by his supervisor because his working hours ranked low in the department”

so there's always someone at the bottom that will kena interview la, then everyone will keep increasing the working hours.. everyone might as well just stay there and work 24 hours non stop then

When ai takeover v makan UBI ... Retire b4 masuk kerja ... Looking forward to that future!

Besok Sabtu, You sendiri kerja la

I work in Japanese and Chinese big airlines company before (Pre-Covid). Both country also provided meal which you can save alot money. In Japan I save 3000 Yen per day on meal, China side will be approx 100 RMB per day.
one month are big amount BRO......Both also work until very damm late....Japan no OT but alot social activities with leader after work. Chinese side standard 996. Both also saving me avoid peak rush hour which is insane. Malaysia Road Block 2 hour sudah cry father cry mother...in China traffic Jam min start with 3 hours++ I rather stay at Company OT + Free Dinner.

CCP very hardworking and tough
Probably jepunis and s. Korean also lose

the cunts there practice UK Style.

Work 12 months, strike a quarter of em.

Work each week, demand cuti at least half, and no nid go opis but gaji mau higher.

Work less hours, but demand moar freedom and uangs.

Work no need, but want social care and see people work 24/7 to serve them.

This is why, they're cunts.

moi sabtu ahad opis tutupe also go opis dafeigei sendiri.

You now also need dafeigei sendiri?


Oh, so pity.

Some said as long product is cheap

Anal-o-logy only.

This year punya after Greenwich time move up, machiam customer lahanat perangai had an upgrade, all of them started to get fussier, more troublesome, more stupid question and demands, and also machiam got a surge of new lahanat sohai Bharats come out to cari pesal.

Our business nonstop have new number calling in, some even straight video call our business Whatsapp asking to see our Studios available and how good it is before even started to inquire or get further into discussion.

Kepala sakit ooi...

Manyakk SOhemm manyakkkk sozhaiiiii

bad news bro

USA tariff China, many CCP workers will be out of work.

So many CCP companies will come here become new MNCs, when western MNCs all ship out and move back to home country.

CCP will become major employer MNC in merehsia.

As you know CCP will employ 40-50% of their nationals in Msia. As so many CCP people unemployed in China will rush to Msia to work. Then these people will become elite there, get promotion while locals rot and work 996 there. Imagine your HR is filled with PRC people. Die liao.

In china, they have no choice.

Work 12 hours a day or lose your job and starve

because there are 3000 people waiting in line behind you, will work > 12 hours to takeover your job.

so the typical china boss will berate, abuse and insult you to get your job done.

you need to beg, borrow, steal, rape, plunder to get it done, so as long you don't get caught.

U are very right sir...local chinaman oredi kiam siap ....super calculative...

yes less work, more redundancies in China.

then they may look for new markets like South East Asia to dump their cheap goods

build MNC offices here, employ 50% CCP people, then locals will be enslaved 996 culture.

China plan is to move their citizens out of their country, to overseas offices like here, so that they can decrease the employment load at home and prevent social unrest.

I see CCP people give ang pau during CNY.

On that day, let say CCP dept head got 10 staff, 5 staff still on CNY leave when he distribute ang pao, he just distribute those that around, those on leav,e he save money don't give.

oh so then what about...

work long hour... and got office politic and have to go drink with boss you hate/ kena sexual harassment?

but you are probably doing that to your subodinates at jkom harassing all those interns right now.

They suck your blood. Health will take the toll rather than get the money you earn.

.
50%? Try 80%

And they are all management level.

Locals will not get to promote, always promote Chinese dulu.
Unless promoting local can make them look good or take the blame.

You slowly wish local get job

I think these lahanat perangai is really questionable tbh.

Would you simply call a business just to have a look at their room, or to check what inventory they got, or to see see look look for your vanity fulfillment? These guys are either sohai laced lark of a piece or some epic grown vegetables.

Some of them are even bargaining at you, assuming if can speak out of the context or in private can get better deal than online, than booking from the website.

Too much democracy and freedom ker, sudah jadi sorhai?

Really chibai. At most CCP clients just demand information, ask what provided, compare if not satisfy then wont book. But the Bharat and the Sohais, they went from mau this to that, want that to this, and all complimentary, still want discount, then say not have a date yet, can get same rate afterward, can pay cash, dun like doing deposit, want to conlan7firm before willing to pay the deposit and so on.

But once you say, please call back when you made up your mind, sorry we cant cater to you, they 360 degree change. Please, please, I like this room, please can you give me, please, I need this room, I dont need others please, I give you double, please, I dont mind discount, please sorry, mahai sorry please I cannot live without this studio room please I beg you my mulut jahanam please I wont do it please again please please cry please thorlong I keji jahanam please I pray for you I wont lahanat anymore please Only this time please please Please!!!!

Yes perhaps I being too conservative when say 50%.

80% I agree.

They planning to make South East Asia, their colony. They will set up their offices here, and CCP sell their products n services to here, via their satellite offices set up here, and manned by their people.

Because of tariff, a lot of them will lose their jobs back in mainland, so for CCP to prevent unrest, they will quickly ship out their workforce to these colonies.

Malaysia welcome them with open arms brooooooooooooo

We need to push our Gomen to implement QUOTA for local Malaysian workers for all foreign co that open business here

call it tongkat whatsoever, but MALAYSIAN FIRST.

if they dont like then better balik for good.

China needs lots of world class tech corps . if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen . tech corps come and go . it is not easy to survive for long. Nokia is a good example.

All lie flat lah, easy.

996 and let humanity die.

Your health down the drain. Cancer and heart attack few years down the road. Chronic illnesses and high blood pressure.

Once you die, the next one already waiting in line.. haha

Very good!

That's the bawse phrase, he can say that because he holds the keys to the office, he suka2 go back to office to avoid staring at his wife's face sure la.



But workers? Only on salary need to follow?

I am sure they do, even if Puas taken over govt, they would do their rhetoric protek protek RnR first, but they know CCP will quietly not listen to them.

You just google n look up all the CCP co here lah, then go to their office address and see for your own eyes how many CCP staffers there.

CCP just show 3rd finger to gomen and ignore their instructions.

I watched Upstream movie i know the work ethics already lol...

>10.5 hours only
heheh
but tbf
xiaomi is mnc
so that's like saying our mnc/glc had to work 10.5 hours minimum, then you can deduce out how much the sdn bhd company have to work.

u see how ccp gomen control them. by force. because even their gomen know these ppl are very stubborn one. those who have work/jv with them know about this.

big mistake for our Gomen to open the floodgates. the effect will be seen in few years time down the road.

why twerk so hard. something happening in 2029, hence the wef slogan for the following year which they do not want to reveal but just hint. get your furlari maselati poshcheh and yolo as hard as you can the next few years

the benefits of CCP MNC that comes here, are actually not much.

They will use their CCP supply chain bypass our supply chain.

They won't share their R&D to our locals, therefore, we learn nothing

most of the workforce, is their own people. At first top mgmt, then slowly mid mgmt, then junior mgmt.

In the end locals only make up the buruh force and cleaning ladies.

CCP well known for squeezing you dry, else why you think they so good at scam centres? In Indochina and Myanmar, they are the masters of scam centres.

Not much benefit also better than none at all right?

but at what cost?

I dont want after work drink

Prefer go home for own time vs hang out with colleagues

The only benefit I see is, their expat rent homes from landlords.

that's all.

more outflow pay their salary is no good for nation.

no transfer of knowledge, no transfer of technology

only benefit their suppliers.

they won't use our local suppliers, I know their cost back in mainland is cheaper. But let say if we can get cheaper maybe in some other dimension world, they will still not use our suppliers. Because end of the day, they will support their own people first.

At minimum benefit to the country.

1) living expense in Msia via- food, services, lodgement, utilities
2) income and corporate tax
3) business operation - rental, services audit banking etc, furniture, internet, utilities
4) hiring of low rank personal - guard, cleaner


So got or dont have any investment is better for the country ?

So asians don't play politics aye?

that's what lei jun gonna tell the staff LOL

he/she is too naive to think that, they all must have learned from Mao how to get rid of own people :X
