I assume that's a mistake and it means "twelve hours a day, seven days a week"?
Either way, I have nothing but bad wishes for their new endeavors if that's the case - this is obviously not an acceptable way to treat people.

The whole setup is out of this world: A vilified Chinese company at war with the full American empire. Its leader mumbling military clichees like "surround the cities from the country side".
