80% Of Americans Work After Hours, Equaling An Extra Day Of Work Per Week
Have you ever read news that sort of makes you want to cry? I have to warn you, that's what this new study from enterprise mobility companyGood Technologymight inspire. The company polled 1,000 U.S. workers to get a better understanding of their mobile work habits. The results are notsurprising: the line between work and free time has become so blurred it's practically non-existent.80% of people continue working after leaving the office (a figure which actually sounds low, if you ask me). Half of them do so because they feel they have "no choice." Connectedness means customers demand fast replies. There's no off switch. Half of respondents check their email in bed, starting at around 7:09 AM. 68% check email before 8 AM.And you wonder why people hate email so much? God forbid we get a cup of coffee in us before dealing with the latest work emergency.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/mo3XQ6SGhCU/
