Summary

Analysis of Ramp corporate card transaction data reveals that the 996 work schedule (9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week) is gaining real traction in San Francisco's tech scene. The data shows a measurable increase in Saturday spending on restaurants, delivery, and takeout by San Francisco-based employees, indicating they are increasingly working weekends. This trend appears specific to SF and is not observed in other cities.
