Most of the people hate this work hour stretching business. However,
a few people love to do this. The reasons for doing so may vary. But they do it
with penchant. Nevertheless, people stretch their hours at work place in
various interesting ways. If a few people don’t prefer to go after their
working hours due to some family problems, others continue doing work as if
there is no tomorrow after working hours to gain their superior’s attention and
peer’s sympathy. Rest, simply don’t know what to do once they reach home [most
of the bachelors/spinsters who are working in remote places with no night life
access falls in this category] also prefer to spend their after working hours in
the workplace.
However, we need to know whether stretching hours at work
place is good for our career. The answer is a strict NO. The question is why
you have to stretch your hours in the first place? Whatever may be your reason,
it does not give a good opinion about you to your superiors.
However, if you are planning to stay late, the best thing is
that you should let your superior know beforehand why you are going to do it on
a particular day. Most of the times, it is better if you complete your assigned
tasks on the specified time and push off at the right time from the office
premises. Unnecessary stretching just to grab attention creates unwanted
problems; sometimes, extra work would be passed on to you by your peers who
take it for granted that you stay there at least 4 hours after your working
hours. And other times, your peers may think like this; since you are not
efficient for getting things done in specified time, you stretch your hours, unreasonably.
In summary, getting things done in specified number of hours
when it comes to office work is good for your body, mind, soul, and career. Unnecessary
stretching of hours for attention grabbing business or just to get a hike by
inciting sympathy in the heart of your superior may backfire most of the times.
Good luck!
