2. How many hours of actual work do you do during
that 8-9 hour work day? Do you work non-stop for 8
hours (aside for lunch)? Be honest. In most cases,
people actually work 3-4 hours out of their 8-hour
work day during the regular schedules. There are
exceptions: when deadlines are due, projects are
coming, etc., but that does not happen throughout
the year for most workers who work regular 9-5s.
3. Rest of the time, they are…
checking their phones
chatting with colleagues
planning out their
activities
dragging out their actual
work
Why?
due to the fact that companies
have policies and rules that
everyone must be in attendance
during the working hours
even if they have no work to do or
they have completed their
tasks/goals.
4. As an employee…
you are not as motivated to get your
work done in those 3-4 hours
because you know you actually have
8 hours to complete your tasks for
the day.
You drag out your time with other
time wasting activities
You had or have jobs where this
happens.
I believe this sort of set up also creates
a society of procrastinators and people
lacking motivation, among other issues.
5. Companies like Google and Facebook, are moving into a different kind
of work approach.
As long as the work is done and there are results, employees can have
flexible schedules and they can also choose to work from home
office/remote location.
Below, I want to share a great article which provides some great input
about benefits of shorter working hours and remembering to live your
life!
