The working week should be shorter and workers should have a longer weekend. Do you agree or disagree?

It is sometimes argued that individuals should have more

days

off and the working

time

should be shorter. To some extent, I agree with

this

notion. Working shorter and spending more

time

on

holidays

has both negative and positive sides. On the one hand, taking more

days

off has many advantages,

Firstly

, in some important occupations, it is crucial to have enough

time

for recreation.

For instance

, working eight hours a day behind a computer as a programmer could be

devastated

Replace the word

devastating

show examples

sometimes, harming both physical and mental health.

Secondly

, shorter

time

with more breaks helps employee's performance, I remember when I worked only four

days

a week on a network simulation project, I had more enthusiasm to continue and work on the project.

Lastly

, people can learn new skills related to their work during the

holidays

.

On the other hand

, we cannot ignore the drawbacks of

holidays

. Some jobs are important than others and consecutive

holidays

can lead to a catastrophe.

For example

, policemen, nurses, teachers, etc have more sensitive jobs.

Also

, it can be challenging for globalisation, like intercontinental jobs. They have to interconnect with each other only during working

days

, more

days

off means less communication with the world.

Similarly

, it is worth mentioning that shorter work

time

can be impossible and unrealistic for many principals and managers,

thus

, it depends on the individual's career. In conclusion, working shorter and having more

days

off has its advantages and drawbacks, depending on the occupation's situation.
