I actually kind of like when companies are upfront about 996 expectations.

The transparency makes it that much easier to avoid them.

The more upfront they are, the more normalized it gets which encourages other companies to do the same.

Yep, that's exactly what happened in China. Once the tech giants did 996 without punishment, every employer wants this as well.

That’s a slippery slope argument.

Plenty of employers do not operate with this expectation. In the US, I’d replace “plenty” with “most”.

Plenty of employers recognize an opportunity to differentiate themselves to candidates by publicly not being 996’ers.
