If people are having issue with big techs like Google I can't even fathom what is happening to developer working from Asia and China where 996 is practiced. In many country the starting salary is 200 USD per month without any benefits or 401k that we find in United States.
I don't understand why companies do this to their staff. Why hoard money at expense of someone's life? Why Execs don't understand that they are the main problem of downfall?
Often, it's as simplistic as greed by the top. Generating profits for themselves, then seeing workers as an expensive consumable, as oppose to a more holistic view.
Where their workers are human beings, who should be viewed as valuable to their families, society, and company.
