"Office Staying Addiction" is a terminology describing those who enjoy staying in the office an unnecessary extra time, is it good or bad practice?

Thank you for the invitation

If you stay in this office for business and give the overpayment, which is in the interest of the institution it is beautiful

But if the employee is sitting without work or the like is expected to complete constantly until he finishes there is no need for this it increases spending unavailing

The person who can not perform in office hours, may not perform in extra hours at office.

Staying extra hours at office cost to company many folds than the expenses occurred in office hours.

Its a bad habit and shows that you have no balance in work and your life.

Thanks for the invitation. Addiction in all terms is bad no matter it is related to office work or any other work.

It is a good practice they may work as substitute for next shift people or we can use them for other work or in any emergency situation.

You have an interesting argument here Mr. Magdi!

You have to know the reason of such behavior.

If he works overtime - he has problems with time management.

If he's just on his private doings - it's also no good and means he wastes company's resources.

Generally I believe that it's not an issue if an employee stays at work from time to time for 30-40 extra minutes or less.

# For correction, even unnecessary extra time#

Andrew McGregor is an expert, please pay5 minutes attention to read his point of view.

I recently shared an image and comment on why I genuinely believe that we all need to practice the art of leaving the office on time. Admittedly I did not expect the3k's worth of likes and's of comments however I wanted to share why I genuinely believe that to achieve the high's of both professional and personal life you absolutely need to pay attention and 'leave the office on time'.

Over the last years I've constantly heard the wonderful phrase of work life balance, 'Work–life balance is a concept including proper prioritizing between "work" (career and ambition) and "lifestyle" (health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development/meditation)'.

So what does this really mean and why do I genuinely believe in leaving the office on time?

Work is a never ending process - It's fact and we may as well get used to it, therefore stop focusing on1 day or1 week and start planning for a career. So harness the skills of time management and stop trying to get everything done in a day!Interest of a client is important, so is your family - Honestly I scoff at the remark from those who think2 hours in the evening is enough for your family, it's really not. They will always enrich your life more than a client ever can, give them the time they deserve.If you fall in life neither your client or boss will lend you a helping hand, your family will - Don't get me wrong I was conflicted with this as I try to be a good boss and always try to be there, but I try, families always will, no questions asked.Life is not only about work, office, and client - I love the people and industry I work within and man when we celebrate it's fantastic but do you know what, that's one moment. With friends and family, it's continuous and without expectation. Cherish your moments with family/friends and experience new adventures with them as well.A person who stays late at the office is not a hardworking person - This raised a lot of dispute on my original post and I understand why people would disagree but I have a different view. I have learnt in years of recruitment that those who are able to work effectively in the time provided they are hugely successful and enjoy a great work life balance. If you are working- hours I beg you to look at what you are trying achieve and question whether they are genuinely adding benefit. Plan your day before you start your day, don't do it at8am or8.am when your day has started as your already chasing your tail. Don't be a fool.You did not study hard or struggle in life to become a machine - Nail on head, machines can operate hours a day with the right fuel. You cannot, balance your life, remember you have hours a day,8 hours to sleep,8 hours to work,8 hours of your own!If your boss forces you to work late - You know what I am a boss. If I have to ask anyone to work late or work late myself I am a fool. To date, I have never asked anyone to work late, I never will. Practice what you preach.I could go on for hours as this is a subject dear to me. I was a son with a father I rarely saw due to work. I've seen families torn apart because parents put work before family. I've heard of young fathers passing away because of stress at work and working hours a day.

ALWAYS LEAVE THE OFFICE ON TIME.

Thank you for the invitation

I agree with colleagues answer

Thank you. I think every body should have schedule with every day life.

I'm also staying more than my expected working hours in the office, for me, it's not bad especially if you have deadlines to catch up on.
