Scientists tell us why we don’t like Monday
Friday is great. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are ok. Sunday is not so good. And Monday? We don’t like Monday. This is not a surprise for most people, but now you can tell your boss that scientists agree with you. (paragraph A)
In an experiment, scientists from the University of Essex in the UK interviewed 5,000 workers at the beginning and the end of the week. The results say that people often have good job satisfaction on Friday, but by Sunday employees don’t like the idea of work. (paragraph B)
Why don’t we like Monday? Dr Taylor, a scientist from the University of Essex, thinks that it could be because employees sometimes work more hours than they want to. This can make people unhappy at work. He advises that flexible working hours and taking days off in the week may help. So, next time you wake up and hate Monday morning, take a holiday. (paragraph C)
