A survey of Australian workers suggests that we’re feeling increased pressure from our bosses: 84 per cent of us believe that we’re asked to do more than five years ago.

The survey by Randstad covered 13,300 people across 32 countries (though we don’t know what proportion of those were Australians). In general, the Asia-Pacific region saw a similar pattern: the same figure was 94 per cent in China, 93 per cent in Malaysia and 85 per cent in Hong Kong.
As with any survey, caution is sensible: after all, if you’ve been promoted in the last five years, you’d expect your job to be more demanding. Has that been your experience? Tell us in the comments.
