Neil Freiman: 微软的一项新报告揭示了“无限工作日”的现象，人们的工作与生活界限模糊，会议和邮件从早到晚连绵不绝。我发现晚上8点开会的情况越来越普遍，这主要是由于地理位置分散的工作场所推动的。这种工作模式剥夺了人们的专注力，使他们难以完成深度工作。我认为远程办公在一定程度上促成了这种情况，虽然它赋予了员工前所未有的灵活性，但也带来了持续不断的工作需求，影响了人们的日常生活。
Toby Howell: 我认为工作时间无限延长，是因为人们在白天不断被打断，无法完成任何事情。大量的临时会议占据了我们最高效的时间段，导致工作不断推迟到晚上或清晨。更令人震惊的是，知识工作者平均每隔不到两分钟就会受到应用程序的干扰。我感觉灵活工作曾经是一个美好的承诺，但现实却是无休止的工作。人工智能或许可以缓解一些压力，但同时也带来了失业的担忧，这让我们陷入了两难的境地。
Deep Dive
A new Microsoft report reveals that the workday has blurred into an 'infinite workday' with meetings, emails, and pings extending far beyond traditional working hours. This phenomenon is fueled by remote work and geographically distributed teams, leading to constant interruptions and a lack of focus. The report highlights the negative impacts on productivity and work-life balance.
- 8 PM meetings surged 16%, fueled by geographically distributed workplaces
- Almost a third of active workers monitored inboxes after 10 PM
- Half of all meetings occur during peak productivity hours (9-11 AM, 1-3 PM)
- Knowledge workers are interrupted by an app ping every 1.75 minutes (275 times a day)
- Flexible work led to the 'infinite workday' reality
