Experience truly is the best teacher and this no one can deny the fact. Countless times I have been an advocate for more holidays even right from highschool days and that's because the sound of holidays usually cause butterflies in my stomach for just a single reason and it's because i so detest stressing myself out. Growing up as an adult I only realized that my wanting to stay at home was becoming too frequent that to for no good course.
Despite the fact have worked in a company that doesn't yield to holidays by federal government talk more of weekends infact Sunday is a must to be present at work, one way or the other we the staffs managed to give ourselves a day or two off in such a way that the management wasn't even aware. trust ladies to carry out their plots especially when they are united. 🤣 for this reason I so much wish our working days could be less so we have enough time for ourselves and families. not to talk of stress which made me hardly even go out because whenever am back from work am so tired which made me don't hang out too but sadly thats how some private sectors behave they just want to stress the life out of someone which I call wickedness.
Nevertheless, I traveled to the federal capital territory Abuja and started something real nice. One thing that's so different from that company is that despite the fact it's owned and managed by a single individual, Mr Sam ensures we all observe every public holidays and even allow staffs go on their monthly leave. This alone made the staff stay so enjoyable that everyone wants to be present at work.
I clearly remembered how we observed a particular holiday that started from Thursday to resume Monday, it wasn't funny at all as this result to even compile more stress because everyone was in a rush to cover up for Friday's work. Due to how work was, the assistant national director had to call me from site to come help with a few work around. One thing I sure know is that I worked my ass out making the Monday a very stressful one. Me on the other hand I did not even like the fact it was just four working days since I had nothing to do at home the longer I continue to rest and sit in a spot I become more weaker and sometimes I have to beg my cousin to take me round just to let time pass. I honestly taught it was just me that had that feeling but I guessed I wasn't as during our discussion a lot of my colleagues complained of how their stay a home was so boring and they waited eagerly for Monday. I want to also believe it's due to the complexity of work or probably discomfort in the office that always make people to want more day off from work.
Sincerely speaking, once the office is less stressful and workers are friendly I'll rather just go with the five working days.
