Microsoft's recent analysis highlights the rise of the 'infinite workday' phenomenon among office workers, revealing that many are engaged in work-related activities from dawn until dusk. Data shows that 40% of employees are online by 6 a.m., and numerous distractions during core hours severely limit focus. Additionally, the boundaries of work are blurring, with a growing number of employees checking emails late at night and even working on weekends, indicative of the evolving demands in the modern workplace. Microsoft underscores that this trend reflects a lack of discernible work-life boundaries.
If you feel like you're working from the moment you wake up to the time you go to sleep, you aren't alone.
According to new analysis from Microsoft, more and more office workers are experiencing an 'infinite workday,' where they are online or doing some form of work from morning to night.
Microsoft also saw a 16% year-over-year increase in evening meetings and reported that 20% of workers are actively working over the weekend.
The company said its data 'points to a larger truth: the modern workday for many has no clear start or finish.'
