Abstract
In China, since a "996ICU" project released the news about the 996 work system of Internet companies in 2019, the discussion about the 996 work system has been in a craze and becomes a social topic. According to the law, the 996 work system is illegal, but even if it is illegal, the 996 work system has been adopted by many enterprises and even becomes the "mainstream" consciousness spreading from Internet enterprises to various industries. There are many reasons behind this incredible phenomenon. Freedom of choice theory is one of the main theories to explain the phenomenon of the 996 work system at present, and it is also one of the reasons promoting the 996 work system to be a "mainstream" consciousness. In fact, the 996 work system violates the law and social development trend, which will bring many negative effects to employees, enterprises and society. In this regard, the government, trade unions, enterprises and employees should take corresponding measures to curb the negative impact of the 996 work system and jointly create a normal and orderly working environment.
