Study reveals workers are burned out and not getting paid for taking on extra duties

Workers said they’re doing three jobs at once in their current roles, but over half haven't had a raise or promotion for their hard work, according to a new study.
Workers said they’re doing three jobs at once in their current roles, but over half haven't had a raise or promotion for their hard work, according to a new study.
A recent survey of 2,000 employed Americans investigated the many contributing factors behind this increase in workload and what workers need to work sustainably.
Each year, respondents said they have nine new tasks added to their plates, on average, with this uptick in responsibilities happening at an exponential rate.
According to the study findings, the majority of workers (78%) have been “voluntold” to do something in the last year, having been assigned new work that they didn’t apply for or agree to, but were expected to tackle anyway.
More than one in 10 (12%) have even been “voluntold” to do extra work in the last day.
