0:59Now PlayingWorkers of the world are more exhausted than ever. More than 40% of people with desk jobs feel burned out at work, a pandemic-era high, according to a survey released by Future Forum. Bloomberg's Matthew Boyle explains.
The pain is particularly acute outside the US, where the burnout rate has been rising enough to offset slight improvements seen by American workers. Economic uncertainty, fear of job cuts and rising pressure to return to in-office work have added to workplace malaise, Future Forum researchers said. Women and younger workers, in particular, reported struggling with burnout.
Regional pressures are also getting people down. In the UK, strikes have crippled the country as public-sector unions protest what they see as paltry pay increases. Japan’s government has asked firms there to help workers cope with the highest inflation since 1981. French citizens have taken to the streets to protest the government’s plan to raise the retirement age to 64 from 62, which could result in some concessions around working from home, a government spokesman said earlier this week.
