Reddit debates if employees should change office timings for work life balance

Reddit debates if employees should change office timings for work life balance

Reddit users have been arguing about the working hours. One user argued against the 9 AM to 6PM schedule and advocated for a schedule of 6 AM to 3PM. The user claimed that working earlier would allow for a better work-life equilibrium, as one could sleep in the afternoons while having more free time in the evenings. Many others agreed with the post that the 9-to-6 workday ruins both mornings and evenings, leaving little or no personal time.

The debate began with the post: “Idky, but I hate these 9-6pm timings. Na subah milti hai aur na evenings. In 6-3 pm, I could come home, take 1-1.5 hours rest, and then enjoy the evening. What are your thoughts? “Are there any other times than these?”

Many users have praised the positive experiences they had working early shifts. One user, who worked between 6 AM and 3 PM, described the schedule as perfect. He cited the benefit of avoiding the traffic on both sides. The users described how getting home by 3:30 PM gave them the opportunity to relax, rest and exercise in the evening. This greatly improved their daily routine. However, they made it clear that Fridays are an exception and socializing after work can sometimes run late.

One user who worked from 7AM to 3PM, agreed with the benefits. He commented that it took some time to get used to getting up early but it soon became second nature. The users commented that, once you get used to it, the benefits of waking up earlier, like having more time to yourself in the evening, will make up for any initial discomfort.

Some users used the fact that their bodies naturally craved sleep in the late afternoon to support the theory of early working hours being related to this trend. One user recalled how they napped an hour after returning home from school at 3 PM. They felt that this gave them energy for the remainder of the day. They were reminded of the ancient wisdom from wise men who advised napping after lunch in order to maintain energy levels throughout the day.

In the debate, there were also complaints about 9-to-6 work hours. Some users commented that their days ran unofficially from 9 AM until 8 PM, depending on their individual demands. One user complained that employers disregard the formal hours of work, asking employees to stay late for meetings or calls. A senior manager, who normally avoided post-work meetings, suddenly asked for attendance. This was a source of frustration. This issue revealed a growing discontentment with the modern work culture where personal time is usually neglected. Previous shifts were a welcome solution to this problem.

Reddit’s discussion of the issue highlights that it is important to keep work and private life separate. Most people demand flexible shifts or earlier shifts in order to improve their overall well-being.
