Time passes, and we have nothing to look forward to. We watch our lives pass, and the only thing we're looking forward to is the weekend or 20 days per year of paid time off. We're working a whole year, from 9 to 5 and sometimes even more, at someone else's business just to have an approximate of 20 days of vacation and two days off per week, with many of us having one or even none per week.
Because the life cycle in most countries is still like that. Especially if you live as an employee or employee in a company, certain office, institution, or other, sometimes you even have to work 6 days and only have 1 day weekend off. And what's more, if they are workers with a shift system and work in public private departments, hospitals, and several other companies, then what happens is that they don't necessarily have weekends on Saturday-Sunday. They sometimes have 1 day off on weekdays. , and in fact not allowed to take a day off on weekends. Because, it is precisely during the weekend that their work comes more to serve customers. And it's still like this. sometimes granting leave rights to employees is also not necessarily in accordance with government regulations, especially in the private sector which is still small. And this does happen, or does it only happen in my country? Even back when I was still teaching at school, I still had to come in on Saturdays. But now I've stopped and maybe the rules have changed.
