Nowadays, people are spending more time away from their homes because they spend longer in their workplace. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.

These days, many people strive to

work

more than normal hours.

This

trend brings both positive and negative consequences for individuals. People who tend to spend more hours at their working places find it rewarding for several reasons. The

first

reason why some people

work

more than others is that they want to achieve more. They feel competition in their

work

and

this

makes them

work

more. Another reason is that extended working hours could be beneficial in a financial term and can lead to promotion. Employers are usually willing to pay more a worker who wants to go beyond a normal working day.

This

can

also

refer to a job ladder.

On the other hand

, working more than normal hours can lead to some negative aspects. With more

work

, people usually get more stress. They do not always manage

time

properly and have less

time

to relax, which

consequently

can be damaging to health.

For example

, when I was promoted several years ago I tried to show my dedication to the company working long hours, even on weekends.

As a result

of constant

work

after a few months later, I started noticing sleep impairment and other health disorders.

In addition

, people spend less

time

with their families which can be detrimental to family relationships. In conclusion, spending longer hours can be beneficial it terms as career development and getting additional income,

however

, it can

also

lead to deterioration of health and family relationships. These damaging consequences can be avoided with the properly managed

time

and relaxation.
