The phenomenon known as 'the infinite workday' is increasingly affecting personal relationships, as many employees struggle with a lack of boundaries in their work schedules. Microsoft’s report indicates that a significant percentage of workers engage with work emails early in the morning and late into the night. This perpetual connectivity can lead to 'work infidelity,' where work takes precedence over family commitments, resulting in emotional turmoil for partners left feeling neglected and lonely despite material comforts.
"The infinite workday" disrupts relationships, as overwork leads to missed family gatherings and broken promises, ultimately affecting personal connections and emotional well-being.
Microsoft's 2025 Work Trend Index finds 40% of employees check emails by 6 a.m. and 29% return to work by 10 p.m., turning work into infidelity.
