One of China’s wealthiest men, Jack Ma, founder of tech giant Alibaba, is urging his employees to have more sex in pursuit of a better work-life balance.
Mr Ma’s “669” was in reference to a popular term that describes the Chinese industry’s work culture of “996” – a rough schedule of 9 am to 9pm, six days a week. Other Chinese tech executives like Richard Liu, CEO of JD.com, an e-commerce firm, agreed, saying that slackers weren’t “brothers.” According to Chinese law, businesses are only supposed to let staff work eight hours a day, or 40 hours a week, with overtime capped at 36 hours a month.
