Speaking on the All-In podcast, Schmidt said China's tech sector operates on "996" schedules -- 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week -- despite the practice being outlawed in 2021. He criticized remote work as particularly harmful for young employees who miss learning opportunities from in-person office interactions. âoeIf... Read more ›
