Meetings After 8 p.m. Are On the Rise
If it feels like the workday is never-ending, it's not just you. Meetings starting after 8 p.m. are up 16% compared to a year ago, and at 10 p.m. almost a third of active workers are still monitoring their inboxes, according to research from Microsoft Corp.
The company's annual work trends study, which is based on aggregated and anonymized data from Microsoft 365 users and a global survey of 31,000 desk workers, also found that almost 20% of employees actively working weekends are checking email before noon on Saturdays and Sundays, while over 5% are active on email again on Sunday evenings, gearing up for the start of the work week.
