Refers to a project initiated by a group of China programmers on github to boycott the 996 working system. Also known as work 996, sick icu.

Extended meaning:

996, the abbreviation of "working from 9: 00 a.m. to 9: 00 p.m. and working six days a week", is widely implemented by domestic internet companies, which violates the working hours system of the Labor Law. Under this system, employees are generally in poor health because of long working hours, and even have a very high risk of serious illness. One disease is going to icu (intensive care unit).

The programmer who initiated the project established and collected the blacklist of 996 working system, and relatively established the whitelist of 955 (nine to five, five days a week) working system companies, so as to appeal to programmers to escape from 996. The main project has won 6.5438+0.39 million stars.
