This is quite a difficult question to answer as we seem to have developed a culture of working silly hours to get the job done rather than the traditional 9-5 routine. I think this is due to a few reasons, one being the economy, with many people worried about the security of their job they want to ensure they are seen as working hard so if there are any cut backs they won't be one of them, but also there's the opportunities of promotion and with so few jobs out there everyone keen to get on wants to go the extra mile and look better than the next person. Me personally, I'm 26 years old with no children and still in the early stages of my career so I'm ...  Read the complete review

This is quite a difficult topic to cover, for the simple reason, I am self employed. But I'll share some of my views and maybe they will be of some help to a few of 'my friends' on dooyoo. When I was young I hardly saw my Father. He would be up at 6am (before I got up) and back at 8pm (after I went to bed) and I must say I did miss him. He also worked Saturday mornings. So really until I got a bit older and could see him of an evening, I saw very little of him, when I was growing up. That didn't make him a bad Dad. Far from it. He always made sure that I had food on the table, clothes (although nothing like the kids have today), and an annual holiday - often ...  Read the complete review

Work, work and more work thats all I seem to do nowadays I have two jobs because I have a mortgage to pay because my day job doesnt pay enough. Don't get me wrong I do have a good daytime job but I'm just not paid enough. I work 60 hours per week its was 65 but I dropped a shift at my part time job. I think we do work to many hours a week and not enough time to share with friends and family. Life is just to short to sit behind a desk all day pen pushing and its not exactly rewarding neither. Fair enough I get paid for my work but I wish I could quit my night time job to spend more time relaxing or even doing some charity work. I do think there should ...  Read the complete review
