New research from The Atlantic about the working day

April 7, 2022

After March 2020, due to remote work, people began to work not from 9 to 5, but from 9 to 22. If earlier workers had 2 peaks of activity, now there are 3 of them - another, small one appears. late evening. This is called "triple peak day". Why is the work day so long? The fact is that remote work is not monolithic: I worked for 20 minutes, flipped through the tape, made tea. Although one can argue about the monolithic activity in the office, the general logic is clear. And endless phone calls lengthen the day - now people have to spend 250% more time in all sorts of meetings.
