The reading passage contends that free working hour is beneficial for both employers and employees. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up several points that contradict this argument.
First of all, the lecturer argues that the company lost lots of money because the workers can work whenever they want, so the company are frequently empty during the bad time period in a day.
This casts doubt on the reading, which states that the company can hire the best workers. The reason is that since they can avoid the rush hour and save lots of time, they are more productive.
Moreover, according to the lecturer, the employees tend to feel isolate. Since the workers are working in different time, it is very hard to have a group project or make a friends. He mentioned that the environment is apt to be seem very misurable. This refutes the reading passages' assertion that the workers are happier and more productive since they are free to work any hours.
The final point made in this lecture is that the employees can't spend time together with their family.
While they have a certain time to spend time with their family when they work at regular time, they have to leave and come at different time when they have free working hours, so it is very hard for them to have a mutual time that is available to other members. The lecturer believes that it will make a distance among the family members. |
