Miscellaneous: Working late is a culture in Hong Kong...


For example, working late is often accepted as normal and workers are not strongly focused on leaving the office at a particular time. People see the requirement for long hours at work as a sign of their importance, and they use their office spaces as second homes where they often have more privacy and comfort than at home. They don't have the Western habit of escaping the office as quickly as possible. Consequently, they may not see the same urgency to reduce workloads and improve efficiency. They're more compliant to 'busy work' as they're happy to fill the time and it makes them feel recognized.

    i also feel that even in India sometimes ppl feel that if they claim to be very bust they have a status or an image is build that they are very dedicated and loyal towards their work and that they have a passion towards their work....

    but in actuality most of the ppl just pass their time in other activities rather than work and then they sit overtime....

    but i think in France ppl are lucky to be working for 35 hrs per week.... in India also we should have the same thing compulsory.....
