Storonsky: weekends off, business over.
Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky says Europe isn't competitive and China's 9/9/6 culture is hard to beat. Of 140 start-ups in his first co-working space, the survivors all worked weekends.

Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky argues that China's 9/9/6 work culture—9am to 9pm, six days a week—makes it hard for European or American competitors to keep up, saying the US is "not that competitive" and Europe even less so. He cited his first co-working space: of 140 start-ups, only 3 survived within five years and just 2 within ten years, and all the survivors worked weekends. He called weekend work statistically necessary for survival, and the poster added that most people lack Storonsky's level of agency.
