6 day Workweek
How many companies still have 6 days working? I am in robotics/manufacturing in MSME, I have a 6 day Workweek, is it a general trend in manufacturing or general trend in MSME?

Manufacturing has always been 6 days, there are banking services too that have them.
Some Ed tech and all hospitality have 6 days but Sunday is working for most

So is 5 day workweeks only in IT and consulting, i.e., MNCs?

In my startup we work 5 days in office and then saturdays is an optional. People come to office or they stay home. If they have work, they work.
It works out fine.

Seems like a cool arrangement, but only works if employees are self driven

Really? Is it like the factory is operational every day or the management/design teams too work the same schedule?

Not factory. Talking about people in Finance, Marketing, Business, Sales, etc. Almost all teams. 6 days and 12 to 14 hours without fail. Sometimes, Sundays too.
Professors in our college had 5days work week, plus almost 1 month vacation apart from mandatory leaves etc.

They have to do a PhD for that, and are paid peanuts compared to their work and qualification, they can have some work life balance in exchange

I get you, 6 days is just in name, 20 of my 52 sundays are easily spent at office
I work 10 hrs(WFH) for my company that pays below average. Work 60 hrs on my side business. (Returns 2X my salary)

Great for you that you are able to do that, how do you manage to get off with 10 hr workweek?

It's surprising how Europe is testing out 4-day work weeks and we are struggling between 6-7-day work week. Indian work culture needs to improve.

They have their basics sorted out, we don't, Mr. Murthy has some truth in his words, just expecting to get paid fairly in return and acceptance from society, otherwise friends and family just compare us to IT guys, earning more and having more free time

My shift starts at 10 AM and gets over at 8/9 PM
Add to that travel which is 1 hour each way
6 days a week and month end it’s like we’re at war. There’s a team that’s worked for 2 weeks straight now.

Yes I worked for a Maharatna heavy engineering PSU in initial 5 years of my career we had 6 day working with Saturday half day. It's very common in manufacturing to have 6 day working and some continuous process plants have 7 day working as well

I think being on call 24x7 vs actually working 24x7 is different, I am also always on call

But they have shift systems to reduce work overload, and from what I have seen in manufacturing plants the managerial people do get weekends (even 2 days in some cases), it's just that they have to have some substitute present
Yes. Absolutely. But in my current department some certain people get this privilege. Also depends on your manager and HOD. In my case it is shit

It feels a little relaxing that it's not only us who are working this hard, otherwise every IT/Software friends and family comments "esa kya hi toop kaam kar rhe ho ke 6 din office jana pad rha hai"

Manufacturing is always at least 6 days work week never less otherwise economies of scale starts to fail making product expensive (fixed cost of electricity/water/rent has to be compensated)
