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?

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.

Why do they have work on Saturdays?

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

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?

Advertising too. On paper 😆

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

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.

6 Day Work week

Is it common now to work 9x6 hours/week? I’ll be pursuing a course simultaneously, should I incorporate according to that or search for 5 day work week? Can you list companies working 5 days/week?
