996 has been outlawed but companies will skirt this requirement by just sending emails and mobile alerts to the workers that "they must now officially stop working".
At the same time, the workers know that if they don't continue working, someone else is going to work harder than them and get ahead. In other situations, if they are behind in their work (their version of Amazon delivery drivers, etc.) they would just keep delivering for hours more until they got the job done since they would lose money or get fined for failing to meet the company's impossible targets.
These are as effective as the Japanese and Korean policies to curb overwork which have all failed (forcing companies to turn off the lights in offices, etc.). People just work in the dark in their laptops or go home and keep working.
