The greatest sports event in the world, the FIFA World Cup, which happens only once every four years, is currently on. This event is watched by millions around the world. Some hard core football fans are willing to put their jobs at stake for the sake of catching the exciting football matches. In China, a Chinese football fan is willing to resign from his job so that he can catch every single football match. As stated in the article, "I will quit my job to watch the World Cup." This indicates that the World Cup means more to him than his job so he does not mind losing his source of income. Another football fan lied to his employer that his "mother-in-law is receiving treatment for lung cancer and wanted a few days off", but actually, "he just wanted to watch the World Cup". Lying to his employer was not the right thing to do. This would cause his employer to lose trust in him, resulting in his employer finding difficulty in trusting his words again. Next time if he needs to take time off from work for such a reason, his employer may not grant him the leave as he does not know if his words are true and believable. Based on a survey that was conducted, "66 percent of employees polled said they will stay up nights to watch the matches, and 20 percent said they will watch every game no matter how late at night". Staying up till the wee hours of the morning to watch the matches would cause them to have inadequate sleep. As a result, their work performance would suffer greatly. Having insufficient sleep the night before would cause them to feel sleepy when they are at work. Thus, this would cause their concentration level to drop. With the ongoing World Cup, some employees may be distracted at work. Although they are physically at work, they may not be there mentally. They could be thinking of the match of the previous night. Is it really worth losing your job because of the World Cup? To football fans, the World Cup is definitely more important than their jobs. However, to non-football fans, their jobs are far more important than the World Cup. Therefore, the answer to this question depends largely on whether you are a football fan or a non-football fan. -SASHA
