A whopping 74% of office workers in Nizhny Novgorod grind through overtime, with 30% doing it regularly and 44% occasionally, according to SuperJob.
Nearly two-thirds of these workers (63%) feel the pressure to show they're effective: 21% often, and 42% sometimes. Among the regular overtime crew, 33% feel this pressure particularly hard. Workers report that if they don't prove their worth, their employers might see them as redundant, withhold bonuses, and skip pay raises. However, half of those who clock out on time don't share these concerns.
Nine out of ten employees feel trusted by their bosses: 36% are absolutely sure, and 55% are somewhat confident. Those who don't feel the pressure to prove themselves (46%) and those who regularly work overtime (41%) tend to report full trust more often.
Overtime seems to be a fair exchange for remote work flexibility. Hybrid workers (36%) are the ones most likely to put in extra hours regularly and also feel the most anxious about their performance. Similar sentiments are shared by remote workers. Yet, among remote workers and those on hybrid schedules, more people are confident in their bosses' trust (42% and 41% respectively).
