Reading: Workplace Problems

1. In my company, junior employees often work more than 60 hours

a week. If the boss is in the office, we feel we have to stay until
he leaves. Very often, we are not paid for working overtime, we
work for free. And for many of us, the summer holiday is only a
one-week vacation. We work a lot of overtime, but we arent
more productive. We just have more health problem.
2. There is so much waste in our company!. The air conditioning is on
and the people open the windows. The cafeteria is empty, but all
the lights are on. People photocopy everything, and the
wastepaper baskets are full of copies nobody wants. Its a waste
of money for the company, and its bad for the environment. We
all need to try and do our bit to protect our environment.

employees lose their jobs. We are worried about losing our
jobs. Its very stressful. We love our company, but sometimes
we lose our motivation. We dont come to work on time, or we
leave early. We are not very happy at work, and not very
happy at home. Its difficult situation for our families, too.
