Many people work long hours, leaving little time for leisure activities. Does this situation have more advantages or more disadvantages?

Nowadays, most people usually

work

overtime

,

thus

they have negligible

time

for entertainment.

Although

, the obvious positive aspect of

this

trend is that they can earn handsome amount of money, which is overshadowed by the negative consequences in terms of bad health and not being able to look after family properly. Admittedly, working more hours than normal at the office has the advantage in monetary terms.

This

is to say that if someone works extra hours at

work

, can get rewards in the form of a high salary and

overtime

payment. Due to the economic crisis, companies have established the

overtime

policies for employees,

as a result

, these lucrative incentives attract individuals to

work

more and earn additional cash.

For instance

, in the UK most working persons prefer to

work

additional hours to earn extra money for their families.

On the other hand

, there are few evident drawbacks of working more than normal hours.

Firstly

, by working supplementary hours can make people obese.

This

is because sedentary working style and without finding enough

time

for exercise can certainly make people overweight. Which can cause different diseases,

such

as high cholesterol and heart attacks.

Furthermore

, working

overtime

can result in families being overlooked.

This

can happen as people spend more

time

at the workplace, they cannot give proper

time

to their loved ones.

Such

ignorance of the family can bring in some serious repercussions, in terms of erosion of family bonding.

For example

, the divorce rate is very high among the working class, which interpreted by a university, happening due to lack of

time

for each other. To conclude, people like to

work

extra hours, as a consequence they have to sacrifice their spare

time

activities.

Although

,

this

has an advantage of earning higher pay, which is outnumbered by disadvantages,

such

as health issues and family disturbance.
