To begin with, spending long hours at work would give people very minimal time to run personal errands. Due to this, they cannot plan well in advance. For instance, they may miss paying a credit card bill or a utility bill on time and this can lead to a penalty. Secondly, their relationship with family and friends can be spoiled. As they do not spend quality time with their children, the bonding between them can weaken. Finally, working for extended hours could lead to several health disorders. In one of the global health surveys, it is reported that health problems among the working population have increased. The incidences of these health problems were considerably low ten years ago when people worked fewer hours.
