When your Manager ask you to work on weekend

Weekend Vibes

People are being forced to work on weekends in the name of "escalations". And instead of it being a request, it is an indirect threat. We are just mere freshers and do not know how to deal with this. How do we navigate this?

So thing is In last 1 week my manager/project lead has been threating that you will have to work on weekend if you dont complete your task by friday and put the the task to testing. And this boils my blood soo damnn much . But as a person who is on lowest level i cant do/say shit. I just disagree with him and dont argue. What would you have done .[ practical advice only] And thing is i do all my dev work on time even earlier almost everytime and he just goes around and threatens everyone with this. Soo annoying thay dumbfk needs to get rekt .

You have pending work, you take accountability & you want to get it done with Anything other than this boils down to 1/ Your manager wants you to work weekends 2/ Your business leader wants your manager to make you work weekends 3/ Your CEO wants your business leader to force your manger to make you work weekends 4/ Your Board / Investor wants your CEO to make your Business Leader to force your manager to make you work weekends. See the pattern? DEMANDS. ASK's. Always someones. Why the rant you ask?? Heard a CEO say to his Leaders "Why are you leaders not forcing your people to work weekends, This is so pathetic" I was like ... wait what ...?? But then i realise the grey matter can show some "really" blessed people a loading screen at the most opportune time.

You've planned your weekend on Friday, just before closing the system, but then suddenly, a client calls you or a manager comes up with an urgent work request, asking you to complete it. You also realize that the task is critical, and you may have to work on the weekends. Has this happened to anyone? If so, how do you deal with it?

Context: I work at a startup, it's a pretty chill work environment, very flexible, hybrid model. Everything is great. Problem: They take flexible work hours too seriously, I have meetings at 10 PM on weekdays and almost every weekend there's some work which they need the next day in most cases but apparently have to keep the meeting on the weekend with no prior notice. I mean, i like going to office twice a week around 11-12 and coming back around 7, wfh when I have a few meetings that day but is it normal to work on weekends? and after work hours? P.S. I've only been in this company for a month and joined as a fresher. Now that I've put it down, this is such a gen z problem lol But what should I do?

I was contacted by an HR for backend dev role. After asking all details about projects, company details, cctc and ectc. He asked "Are you comfortable working on weekends if there is any important work to be completed". 1) Is it common in startups to work on weekends? 2) Considering layoffs scenarios ongoing , is it worth moving from stable company to startup ? Note: This company is mid size startup working in hospitality and tourism

It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.
