alt Hacker News> We used to have 12-16+ hour workdays, no days off, etc. None of that is true anymore - the great battles have been fought and won, and nobody is going back.
The 8 hour workday is not guaranteed to office workers anymore.

Nobody is seriously working 996, unless they choose to.
I'd like to see the median wage+benefits of the '996' worker vs the median.
I think unions have a place in the lowest margins , but not the 996 tech worker making 2x median salary (my assumption).
