The topic of the length of the working week is widely discussed in the modern world. Some individuals believe that the working week should be shorter and people should get a longer weekend. Despite some drawbacks, such as a decrease in income and producing fewer products, I agree with this opinion. From my perspective, currently people do not care about their well-being and maintaining family connections enough, and the shortage of the working hours can solve the problem.
A shorter working week has a negative impact on revenue. Since employees work less, they produce less products or services for saling, and if the company make less profit it is only able to provide lower salaries. Some companies, which use a shorter working week, decide to hire more workers, but still it is not as beneficial as hiring a worker who works the common working week.
However, the most essential things are health and family. Nothing can replace great well-being and . Currently, the majority of people can not afford to devote time to these things. The main reason is their jobs, which usually take almost all the day, sometimes demanding extra working time at home. Furthermore, some people get burnouts due to the time-demanding job without any other activities. Thus, it is better to provide people more free time that they can devote to relaxation and maintaining family connections.
To summarise, making the working week shorter brings both disadvantages, such as losing money for both workers and employers, and advantages, such as providing more time to workers for healing from busy working days and communication with valuable for them people.
