Infinite workday

Wikipedia

A person experiencing overwork caused by infinite workdays

The infinite workday is a work pattern where working time encompasses hours beyond the traditional workweek and weekend.[1]

The infinite workday blurs boundaries between personal and work time leading to a continuous cycle of work-related activities. This phenomenon is attributed to the rise of remote work, flexible work arrangements, improved tooling that enables employees to stay connected with web conferencing, and hustle culture.[1][2][3] The inifinite workday may negatively impact work-life balance.[4]
