The 8 hour workday is not guaranteed to office workers anymore. See HN discussion of 996: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45149049

I'd like to see the median wage+benefits of the '996' worker vs the median.

I think unions have a place in the lowest margins , but not the 996 tech worker making 2x median salary (my assumption).

Nobody is seriously working 996, unless they choose to.
