2020年山西一模答案及试题（高三一模4月）。Every year between May and September, all 54
employees of Basecamp, a Chicagobased web application company,
have a short work week: just four days － a total of 32 hours. Also,
they usually work five days a week for the rest of the year.
“That's plenty of time to get great work done. This is all we
expect and all we want from people，” says Jason Fried, a
cofounder. “Working 50， 60， or 70plus hours is unnecessary. In
fact, if you have to work 50， 60， or 70plus hours a week,
there's a management problem.”
The company's summer workload must fit reduced hours, Mr. Fried
insists,
otherwise the benefits of a shorter week — to recover from work,
enjoy time with family and
pursue (追求)
outside interests — would be
undone.
His
new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful
to employees' physical and
mental health. It is also the intensity (强度) of
work. Moreover, it suggests
that intense work harms career prospects. That
is because unbearable hours and
intensity are in the opposite direction,
reducing the quality of the
work.
The
research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work
we do is generally “a stronger predictor of
unfavorable outcomes than overtime
work”．
The
research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and
found they were more likely to suffer poorer
happiness and worse career prospects, including
satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked
at an intense level for long periods.
