3.7 独立 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more enjoyable to have a job and work long hours for three days in a week than to work shorter hours for five days in a week.
Nowadays, an increasing number of employees place considerable emphasis on prolong rest time by working long hours for three days a week rather than shorter hours for five days. However, as far as I am concerned, the original working pattern has more merits which is less stress on everyday, have enough time to take care of families and also could create more profit for companies than three-day working.
First of all, working shorter hours would not put employees into high pressure environment. Most people would feel exhausted when whole day working, not to mention for three days does. Even though there is four day to relax, the other three days' tension is out of physical endurance of a normal person, especially for women. Besides, if people work for three days, to maintain the business of the company, employees must condense their five-day task into three days, which means a double workload and stress. As people all know, high pressure would enhance the rate of depression and heart disease and keep them in sub-health.
In addition, a short working hour gives staffs more spare time to look after their family, like house cleaning and cooking, and strengthen the relationship. For human beings, there is a great necessity to bind their family bone by daily and trivial things such as talking with each other, helping them clean house, even washing dishes that all are the joint of love. Too much woke on three days would weaken that joint and prevent body do other consuming things. On the other hand, in terms of employees a four-day rest would wear working passion down. People have to adjust themselves into working style when they start to work. However, when just into working pattern, they can have a long relax. On the contrary, it is much more efficient when people work for five days, probably due to the stability.
Last but not the least, people work for five days can create greater wealth for companies and country than three day does. On contemporary society, most countries adopt the eight-hour day working system. If condense the equal jobs into three days, staffs must do more than ten hours a day which is obviously impossible. So the companies have to shorten hours which will decrease the profits and hinder economic development.
Taking above all into account, working shorter hours for five days in a week is better than three days.
