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

In

this

contemporary world, many individuals are engaging with their

work

all day which leads to insufficient time for enjoyment.

Although

there is merit to long working hours, I think the drawbacks outweigh the benefit. To start with, the main disadvantage is that much of the employee’s precious time that should be enjoyed with his family would be gone.

This

is because employees usually prioritize their

and it will take

before they recognise the mistake and start to take action against it.

For example

, people should spare some time to take a vacation and have a trip with their families.

Thus

, people would grow old without enough memories with their families.

Hence

. To conclude, nowadays people spend most of their daily life at their workplace leaving nothing for leisure.

This

might have an advantage but I believe the disadvantages are more serious and its effect may be irreversible in the foreseen future.
