essay, I will argue that more time at work would certainly make financial sense and

overall

happiness. Working overtime surely has some benefits in terms of money and/or perks. When a staff overworks, he/she receives extra remuneration, maybe even a better rate per hour than a normal one.
This

, when a person gives more hours to his/her job, it is going to make him/her more knowledgeable in their craft, opening even better job opportunities.
However

, those benefits come at a price. Individuals working for longer hours, especially sedentary workers are shown to have many physical and mental health issues in the long run,
for example

, back pain, headache, burnout, and depression. How is one going to enjoy his/her hard-earned success if he/she is not mentally and physically fit?
Furthermore

for some people, overtime work is appealing, in terms of income and/or expertise, I believe it comes at a cost, the cost being poor health, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction. People should stop working overtime in their offices and participate more in activities they enjoy and have experiences and memories, which will make more sense in the long run.
