In this modern era, working continuously for long periods of time is a topic interest

and concern.  There are a lot of reasons for this situation and it can be cause some
negative effects

The main reason is that the competition in work is extremely high. Obviously, The
high unemployment rate leads working people to compete with each other to find
work and they have to work hard so as not to get fired. Therefore, they need to
demonstrate their ability and make a good impression on the employer in order to
raise promotion, this will improve their life better. Furthermore , The development
of science and technology has made the standard of living become higher. In fact,
there are more and more amenities to serve daily life. However, these facilities are
very expensive so people  have to  earn money to afford them

The most serious problem is that working overtime over standard hours of work
can impact on employee health. Firstly, working longer hours can lead to a lot of
chronic diseases due to the lack of sleep, nutritious meal, and exercise. For
example, Some studies show that working long hours at an office, especially sitting
at a desk for several hours continuously, increases the risk of cardiovascular
diseases by 60 percent . Moreover, It has negative effects on relationships such as
family , friends, and romantic partners. It cannot be denied that they spend most of
their time at work instead of spending time with family and building relationships.
Therefore, this affects that relationship and as a result, this can create loneliness,
becoming stress and depression in the long run. 

In conclusion , extended working hours due to the competitiveness and

development of science and technology, its effects include health problems and
