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

It is argued that the working week should be shorter and employers should have longer holidays.
This
essay totally disagrees with that statement. I believe that longer weekends have bad sides
such
as decreasing incomes and improving the
laziness
of all workers. First of all, if working weeks are shorter,
then
they will not work enough
time
.
Furthermore
, they will not get enough salaries.
For example
, my friend’s dad. He is an accountant.
Firstly
, he worked enough
time
, about 6 hours on weekdays every day. But,
then
his manager said that the government cut their workdays to 3 days.
Initially
, he was happy,
however
, he did not know that he would have lower incomes. So, in the

he suffered a lot from less money.  In my opinion, the second reason for my disagreement with that statement is
laziness

if their workdays are cut down. Because, they will employ less than usual, but
then
they will suffer from
laziness
. They do not want to do anything, even little housework
such
as cleaning and vacuuming.
For instance
, my elder brother’s boss decreased his

, because he was so lazy that he did not even go to his job even on his weekdays. In conclusion, for a high percentage of the population, cutting down on working weeks and increasing weekends are less important than working with usual
