Do you feel you are working harder than ever and still being expected to do more? Along with its sister communities LawZone and AccountingWeb, TrainingZONE is running an online poll over the next week to assess whether professionals are being pressured to work ever longer hours.
With the growing shortage of skilled knowledge workers, we're asking whether you expect to work more hours in the next year or fewer. Or are you planning to "downshift" to a more relaxed lifestyle?

We will compare the results with the stiff-shirted brigades to see which is the hardest working profession of them all.

Choose from the following options and cast your vote on the poll.

In the next year I plan to:

* Spend more time at work
* Spend the same amount of time at work
* Spend less time at work
* Look for a new job with better pay
* Downshift to a new job to work less
