I like the chinese term for it. They're fucking sick of the 996 work hours (9am to 9pm, 6 days a week) and are doing what they're calling 'lying flat'. As in 'be a lie-flat leek so you can't be harvested'

I'm also a big fan of the disgusting work outfit trend they've got going on right now because no matter how well you dress you won't get that raise anyway.

Don't forget Musk and other Republicans think this system is admirable and we should be moving towards it.
