This has anecdotally been described as US work ethic to me. Ostensibly long hours and few vacation days but if you need to run an important errand on company time nobody will bat an eye.
No check in time - just arrive anytime before 10.
Lunch break is easily 2 hours, naps included.
Dinner break is another 1.5 hours, people would walk laps and sometimes play basketball.
Everyone hang around until 9PM because then there's free food and free rides home (also traffic is much better). only applies for weekdays, some people check in on Saturdays for a few hours.
Of course this is not busy time in general - when people do the real 996 for a bit - but that can't last, and everyone knows it.
I've heard the situation has started to change as well - hopefully it gets fully stamped out.
