A study reveals that 79% of UAE professionals have expanded responsibilities with longer working hours and increased AI usage to cope, but only 17% have discussed these changes with managers. The added workload risks burnout and signals a need for formal role recognition and sustainable workload management.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software.

UAE professionals face rising hidden workloads fueled by AI without formal recognition; you must engage managers now to secure clarity and push for workload redistribution or risk founder teams burning out.
