Chinese tech companies are pushing their staff to the limit, with overwork becoming the standard practice. The industry, once infamous for its '996' regime — working from 9am to 9pm, six days a week — is returning to gruelling hours as growth slows and share prices suffer. This intense work culture has led to significant stress among employees, with some describing the situation as 'gears grinding until they break.' Working for Big Tech has lost its 'dream job' status.
