Being Available 24 Hours a Day By Nanako

           According to research, there are three types for escaping from being perpetually available in work. The first way is accepting that a worker accepts the demands of being available 24 hours a day. The second way is passing that pretend to be available but secretly escape it. The third way is revealing that says one’s ideas and push back each other along workers.

I would be a passer if my boss says to me that I should be available 24/7.

In my culture, the hard workers who can work out of work time even on Sunday are rewarded. However, in my opinion the rewarded worker is their bosses say. I do not want to be a person like them, and I think they do not have consistent belief in their work. On the other, a passer does not do what they do not want to though they say they do. I think that is the smartest way to survive in a stressful society.

                One analyst says in the article, a passer hides oneself in one’s work, so he or she have a relatively high turnover late. Also because a passer would not show one’s real feeling in the work, it relates to the lack of engagement. According to the author, a revealer can make an ideal workplace because a revealer has well-rounded perspective and brings it to the work.

                After I read the article, I am convinced the idea that an ideal workplace is the group of revealers, because they can make creative workplace by bringing ideas from outside of the workplace. However, it is not easy to be a revealer in my culture, because to say “NO” to a boss is considered the wrong idea. All I need to be a revealer is time to analyze my boss and colleagues. If it is evident that my boss and colleagues can understand the idea of a revealer, I would be a revealer. Although I hope I can be a revealer, I am twenty years old and have not experienced working, so I would be a passer and pretend to be available 24/7.
