Do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.


Model Answer:
Employees are hired to get the jobs done. But it is imperative not to hire employees for the entire lives. I do not agree with the statement for some grounds. I will describe the facts behind my opinion here.

Freedom is the key reason for not hiring employees for lives. It hampers the freedom of the employee. If the employee gets a better opportunity than the existing job, it becomes harder for him/ her to apply for and get the new job with better facilities. In most of the cases, the employees remain silent - they are recruited for life. This appears as a kind of human rights violation to me. It is also largely responsible to reduce the production quality when someone is engaged in a job for longer days. Actually, when they are asked to do the similar things, again and again, they cannot focus anymore on the duties because of boredom. Consequently, the production rate is reduced which ultimately brings a huge amount of loss for the business. Though the business wanted a sustainable employment for the employee, everything may not go as planned. It may have some negative work experiences with the employees too.

Besides, changing the career or job helps people to grow in a multifarious environment. Employees can have different types of experience in their career and they can apply the newly gained experiences in a newer environment. So, it is really a must for them to change the job. But if they are glued with a single job, they would get some certain experience.

I know one of my friends who has been working in a company for a long time but lost his peace of mind. He is unable to work smoothly. Another of my friends in switching jobs after every two or three years and he is having a very enjoyable life. The former one is leading a tired life though his job is secured while the later one is enjoying his life through changing the jobs. He is exploring the world, having newer experiences and completing his tasks efficiently.     

Therefore, considering the aforesaid reasons, I disagree with the aforesaid statement.
