Chinese billionaire Jack Ma Founder of Alibaba Holding encourages a culture of work six days a week, 12 hours a day, for technology workers.

This came after he published schedule 996, which refers to work from 9 am to 9 pm, for six days a week, and this sparked widespread debate and discussion on social media.

Jack explained his argument that the world needs honest words that make people think and that those who adhered to the 996 schedule were the ones who found their passion for financial gains.

This comes at a time when two Chinese employees protested last March against the 996 plan, describing it as an inhuman work for difficult hours, and not a great blessing, as Ma described it.
