WORKING HOURS.....EFFICIENCY

We Indians have a recognition of being dedicated souls when it comes to work but
looking back as to why does this happen the fault lies entirely in us.
Are we being exploited just because we
are very loyal to the firm we work in or is it because we dont project ourselves
of being very shrewd and stern in terms of estimates provided for the projects?

An average indian always overshoots his stipulated working hours and does the overtime work
as compared to a strict american national who works for exactly 8 hrs.Do we lack
the discipline in restricting ourselves to the just office work and have no time wasting
tactics in terms of chatting or too many coffee breaks?

The answers to all the questions asked so far might vary from person to person but the bottomline
is that the time of 24 hrs is not put to judicial use.The repurcurssions
are not felt immediately but in the long run.The immediate question that might be
asked would be what provokes the people to work so hard?why would anyone really care to work beyond his limits
and pull along himself.Its all money and job security as in today's world there especially after the aftermath of
recession where we are still on the road of fast economic recovery, a job lost will get people into the jinx and
add to the tough life ahead.

There must be a work around for such kind of process already deployed at many of the firms.The work we do
should be out of interest but never a burden.It should be healthy mix of fun,joy and some serious business in
terms of money making.We can retaliate and a lay a new system which would not only bring about a good work
life balance but also bring about descipline amongst all journre's of people.

Another concern here is the rewards that an employee gets for striking the stone hard day and night.
There might be people who like to work but most of the people would like to spend their evenings not under the same
dim lights of office just for nothing.There must be some motivating factor that should get him/her going.

I just hope the whole corporate life would get into a good shape and bring some new life to the working atmosphere.
