Sometimes people need a break but can't continue to manage the long hours of the working day, the reason could be simply tiredness, or maybe they have more important matters like family, or even perhaps health problems, whatever the reason, working fewer hours has numerous benefits. Although, just like everything else, to gain something you also have to lose something in return. In this case you gain more time with friends, family and studies, but you lose pay and may even irritate your boss. Lower pay is evident as you work fewer hours and earn less money, meaning your standard of living decreases. More time for recreational activities like friends and family gives you a closer bond with your friends and family. Working fewer hours could also irritate your boss, since you are forcing him to hire a new worker or have another worker take over the job, either way it will affect your boss one way or another. Finally, you will also have more time to dedicate yourself to your studies where you are at university or have a hobby that you like to delve into, now you have more time to dedicate yourself to these things, but is it really worth it? Let's check each one more closely and the theoretical chain that can lead to these events. As we already know, unless you get a raise, working fewer hours directly means less pay and, of course, means you can buy fewer things. Well, when you earn a certain amount of salary you create a standard of living for yourself, as you lose or gain income, your standard of living fluctuates, however, after your pay goes from higher to lower, your standard of living does not drop back to what it would have been if I had earned money earlier. For example, let's say you made $200 a week, then received a raise of 3...... half of the card ......ut. First, if you receive less income, you will eventually want more. Secondly, we now have time to spend with friends and family, which will result in a feeling of greater security as you will have closer friends to help you in your time of need. Third, if the employer is irritated, it means harder work, which means needing more rest. Finally we came to the conclusion that more time to study means less general stress. So when we look at them, it's pretty hard to decide whether withering or not working fewer hours is beneficial or not, but obviously that's something you have to decide based on your life situation. Do you want to get closer to friends? Do you really care about wanting more money? How about having to work harder? Maybe you need less stress by working less and studying? Well, this is what you will have to decide based on your living situation.
