你的感悟：
04 996 工作制遭遇程序员抵制 近日，有程序员在知名代码托管平台 GitHub 上发起了一个名为“996.ICU”的项目，
课程导读 以此抵制互联网公司的 996 工作制。此举立即得到大批程序员响应。
所谓的 996 是 996 工作制是指早上 9 点上班、晚上 9 点下班，中午和傍晚休息 1 小 时（或不到），总计工作 10 小时以上，并且一周工作 6 天的工作制度，代表着中国互联 网企业盛行的加班文化，是一种违反《中华人民共和国劳动法》的工作制度。
而“996.ICU”意为“工作 996，生病 ICU”。这是程序员们较为讽刺说法，意味着 按照“996”工作时间表，你面临着进入 ICU（重症监护病房）的风险。
在互联网公司，996 工作制并不是什么新鲜事。在最近裁员风声此起彼伏的背景下， 996 工作制成为一些企业逼退员工或是变相增加 KPI 的手段，再次引发大众关注。

The campaign led the Communist Youth League’s newspaper（共青团报纸） to write an editorial saying that “dissatisfaction has reached a turning point”, and society was facing up to the issue of how to reduce pressure on young people.
