In some countries, people are spending long hours at the workplace. Why does this happen? Is it a positive or negative development?

In some parts of the world, working overtime has been increasingly prevalent among employees. There are several reasons why

this

trend occurs but unfortunately, I believe that the negative impacts of

this

issue far outweigh the advantages.

First

and foremost,

this

phenomenon is becoming more and more popular in both developed and developing countries, where there are abundant jobs in the job market.

Furthermore

market is becoming more competitive than ever. Take China,

for example

, overpopulation is a serious problem that each citizen needs to make an attempt to

work

harder than anyone else to grab any job opportunities and they are willing to take on some extra

work

to prove their potential to employers or directors to gain promotion and get higher income. The

second

reason for

this

movement is none other than as the world is becoming progress, more

work

needs to be done but they can’t leave

this

task for tomorrow.

As a result

, they choose to stay at the office longer to do

this

task until the job is completed.

Secondly

,

this

tendency definitely has detrimental effects on human beings, especially on their health. As workers have to spend more time on their

work

, they will have less time to take care of themselves. Working for long hours means they do not have time to come home and have a proper meal, refresh for the

next

working day. As a consequence,

this

may lead to a decline in

work

efficiency because they no longer have enough energy to receive a new task, and they feel exhausted with office hours.

For instance

, according to recent surveys, Japanese office workers need to spend more than 10 hours a day on average to finish their jobs and many of them could not stand the pressure of

work

and colleagues, they commit suicide. In conclusion, spending half of their days at

work

is somehow may
