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

#people #work #hour #time #leisure #activities #situation
Nowadays most
people
Capitalize word
People
show examples
 devote most of their
time
 to working long
hours
thus
 leaving very little
time
 for leisure activities.
This
 situation has both pros and cons linked to it but I think it has more disadvantages than the advantages.
This
 essay will discuss why it is so in the following paragraphs. On the one hand, companies overburden their employees but assigning more
work
 than the individual's capacity. After the Covid-19 ,pandemic most
people
 opted to
work
 from home which made firms think that
people
 should be assigned more
work
 than usual as they are saving their commuting
time
.
For example
, a man who used to travel to his office by undergoing a one-hour drive daily saved his
time
while
 working from home.
As a result
, their managers overburdened them with more
work
 leaving no
time
 for them to spend on themselves.
On the other hand
, few
people
 try to perform a job more than their capacity and take up tasks which they cannot complete in
time
 and because of ,that they feel depressed and anxious when not able to complete the task before the deadline.
For instance
, a man who used to
work
 for 8
hours
 a day is devoting 12
hours
instead
 just to earn a little more becomes sick which makes him spend a lot more than he earned.
Consequently
, there is no
time
 to be spent with family and friends or to spend on leisure activities.
To conclude
, I would say that
people
as well as
 employers should fix working
hours
 per individual and not allow
people
 to
work
 more than that keeping in mind their health and well-being.
