Working Hours
Dears, please note that my native language is Arabic so excuse me for my way in writing English. hope you can see and feel the message that I want to send to you as staff and to your organizations.
Most organizations working hours is around seven to nine hours on daily basis. Most of the staff takes one hour for lunch break and they spend another hour for unuseful talking, smoking and coffee time. if we calculate the total production of working hours we will find its just around five to six hours daily. therefore and in my opinion, if organizations reduce working hours to a maximum of seven hours they will get the same production of nine hours.
how?
First of all, staff will aware that he/she have no time to spend on unuseful talking or unuseful meetings as well. they will be aware that they have no time to spend on not important things to do or listing to other staff complains. they will put their efforts to do work in the shorter time possible.
Staff will know that their working duties in seven hours including lunch break will reduce pressure. the concept of the classic working hours that as much as staff work as much as you earn money will not exist as this is a very wrong concept. its old, classic and wrong idea to let workers work all of this time. workers are human and human needs time to do other activities instead of working all the days and nights. we need to re-evaluate our concept of work and put the time in the right way.
Most of the workers these days forget their families and the time that family need. we need to have more time to spend with our communities, lives, families and for our self.the idea of getting work is to get a better life. what if we lost our life's work. then what is the benefit of working. it seems the owners don't want us to enjoy our life. all that they want us to do is to work for their wallet and make it bigger every day.
Your boss asks you to work over time. yes, you want to do this because you need more Money. but actually, you don't need this money that eventually you will spend it in your health. human body does not create to work like this. you need time to sleep well, eat well, do activities. I know most of you thought about it and reach to some point that you don't want to work at all. this is because you work too much.
My message to the readers is please reconsider to reduce the working hours and let us feel as normal human we are not a robot. please give us a benefit of working for you. let us feel the life itself.
