S0lat is a sort of programming towards righteousness, that we are programmed towards righteousness. And the requirement that it should be repeated minimum 5 times a day. For example for a very healthy body, a doctor will tell you, you require minimum 3 meals a day. Similarly for a spiritual soul, a person is required to offer Solat 5 times a day. And the requirement is, there are chances that because of the evil in the society around us, we may get de-programmed. So if we are kept on being re-programmed, there are more chances that you will remain steadfast on the Sirat al mustaqeem, on the straight path. Therefore it is compulsory that every Muslim should offer S0lat minimum 5 times a day.
Doesn't S0lat disturb my job productivity. If you know the rules of management, you will know that a person cannot work continuously for hours together. If a person comes to office at 9 o'clock in the morning and sits till 6 o'clock in the evening, continuously for 9 hours, in fact he will be less productive. That is the reason that there are some short breaks given in between. So a person can get re-created, you know we have recreation. Similarly S0lah is a sort of recreation. It rejuvenates you. If someone tells me that I am losing time, I am less productive, because I waste 15 minutes having lunch break, I would say that he is not a logical person because only if he has meals regularly, can he do more work. Similarly if a person offers S0lat at intervals, I do agree he may have to work for a few minutes but when he stops and he comes back to work he works with a much better frame of mind and productivity overall will be much better. So for a logical person and a modern person he has to agree that there should be breaks so that a person can get recreated and S0lat is the best form of rejuvenating your mind.
