OT is expected and also unpaid. Your reward is that you don't get fired and replaced by the "100s of people waiting for your job". People are stuck at work so long that they go out at night until 3-4am and back to work the next morning just so they can blow off some steam and feel like they have a life. This is your standard HK life. Once you've aged out of this lifestyle, you're not necessarily better off for it unless you're important enough at work to start calling the shots.
9-9-6 is an absurd expectation of the work force and it's been driving the gen z insane in HK/China. They've turned to "quiet quitting" where they won't leave the job but will slack as much as humanly possible because they don't care. There's no time to have a life and there's not enough money to get ahead so they feel like they're stuck in limbo and this is the only way to give management the middle finger.
Anyone who moves here from HK/China almost immediately feels like it's way easier of a life. Whether that's highschool students or working force adults, they see our lives here as easy street in comparison. Oh, and don't forget how cunty and blunt Chinese people are towards each other in general. It's only worse when it comes to a workplace. My friend is the son of a company owner and his coworkers are still rude af towards him.

He's got this delusion of how great things are because he got laid. nuff said.
The reality is he wouldn't have time to get laid if he worked there. The very fallacy of "this place is great" because you are fucking VACATIONING
