New research of UK employees has looked into the stresses and strains of modern working life
Four in ten working Brits routinely wake up in the middle of the night to check emails, according to a new study.
New research of UK employees has looked into the stresses and strains of modern working life and found a third (34 percent) regularly tackle work issues in the dead of the night, rather than leaving it until the morning.
In fact, 44 percent of those polled by British Summer Fruits, claim they frequently send emails to colleagues and clients between the hours of 11pm and 6am, while one in ten say they would fear for their job if they didn’t respond to emails promptly.
As many as 16 percent said they often end up burning the midnight oil due to pressures from colleagues and the boss, while 11 percent describe their life as ‘all work and no play’.
Even at the weekend, the average Brit works an average of THREE hours catching up on emails and dealing with issues they simply haven’t had time to deal with during the week, while 64 percent of workers admit they lose sleep over work worries.
33 percent said their dinner is often interrupted with work demands, while one in twenty have had to put a stop to intimacy with their partner due to disruptive work queries.
