Hello everyone, I am circle, a strange woman who knows the most about project managers.
The Supreme People's Court of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has made it clear that both 996 and 007 are illegal! However, there are still many companies that take the law wrongly.

Today, "BYD employee rental housing sudden death, 26 days a month working hours of about 12 hours" rushed to the zhihu hot search.
Two days ago, Weibo hot search #Inspur Group was accused of hanging fancy overtime slogans # also triggered a complaint from netizens.
"Everyone plus, is really plus, overtime is really good"
"He plus me, I can't run if I want to."
"Work part-time during the day and don't sleep; work overtime at night and can't sleep."
"When you have time, go 'overtime' and finish the things we haven't done yet!"
Internet companies, overtime in the hardest hit areas
Overtime in the Internet industry is already a common thing, Ma Yun's "996 is a blessing"; Pinduoduo 11-11-6 (11 a.m. to work, 11 o'clock in the evening, 6 days a week) led to sudden death of employees jumping off the building; with whom to learn before the double reduction policy, encourage employees to set up tents to work and live in the company, next to it also written: "not afraid of overtime, do not read off work", was exploded on the hot search.
Overtime culture, on the one hand, is in the industry dividend period, in order to make the project advance rapidly, high-pressure work is bound to be implemented, accompanied by high overtime pay (but some companies will not give overtime pay); on the other hand, in the barbaric growth period of the industry, many management capabilities and resources can not keep up, can only squeeze employees to extend working hours to achieve control over employees.
The Supreme People's Court and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security jointly pointed out that 996 seriously violated the law's provisions on extending the upper limit of work. In one sentence, it is: 996,007, illegal!
The state has advocated reducing pressure and burden reduction, and netizens have become more and more vocal in opposing "overtime for overtime", and finally some large companies have begun to make changes:
Tencent: Starting from November, the 965 working system will be implemented, and overtime will be required after 7 p.m.;
ByteDance: 10-7-5, overtime after 7 o'clock to calculate overtime pay, overtime need to take the initiative to apply, bi-monthly review of each department overtime;
Alibaba: Some business departments have tried a one-month mandatory 7 o'clock off work system, specifically: no pulling meeting after 6 o'clock, HRG 7 o'clock to urge work, team leader is not allowed to be in the company after 7:30, half of the lights are turned off at 8 o'clock, and all lights off at 8:30.
How project managers can avoid it
Unreasonable overtime
For project managers, rushing to schedule, catching up with the schedule, especially a few weeks before going online, working overtime all night or even directly setting up a tent to sleep in the company is a common thing, although it is painful, but as long as overtime pay, rest, welfare is ready, we are also willing to work overtime.
But sometimes, the emergence of overtime, not because the team technology is poor or inefficient, but because the customer of Party A has no logic to increase and change the demand, if the project manager is a novice or does not know how to refuse, then the project team is a tragedy, from the beginning of the project has to work overtime to project delivery.
Therefore, for the change needs of Party A, the project manager can take action from the following four aspects:
▍ Preliminary preparation: Nip changes in the bud
▍Confirm requirements: Confirm the reasonableness of the change in requirements
▍Start a change: Study the change plan
▍Change landing: Confirm the filing of work implementation data
A project's success is 100% attributable to the project team, while failure is 100% attributable to the project manager. A project from the beginning to the end, there will be a variety of risks and accidents in the middle, as a project manager, you must play your own value, the strong to be strong, of course, the back of the pot also have to carry the pot.
However, for some unreasonable overtime, completely for the sake of adding, and can not be hard bar of the class, for their own health, the circle here suggests, or say goodbye as soon as possible.
You say yes?
