How do you guys manage 6 day work week with 10 - 12 hours of working?

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?

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?

Hey peeps! Currently working in a Fintech company in Mumbai as a Frontend Engineer with over a year of experience. The current CTC is 7 LPA. I feel like the growth here is limited and from the past few months there's been a lot of micro-management. Even the CTC is not up to Mumbai's expense standard. I live in a soapbox and pay like 1/5 th of monthly salary. Standard of living has been decreasing while it should be opposite. + I've 6 days work week with 9 hours /day shift. Although I've decided to drop in papers soon, I'd like to hear your opinions. Brownie points if you refer me to some good early stage startup probably in BLR or Pune or Remote.

I see a lot of posts about WLB, I want to know what do you consider as a decent WLB. I will go first. 1. Leave early if the work for that day is done 2. No pings and calls post work hours, there are always exceptions and thats okay, should not become a norm 3. Respecting when someone is in vacation and not disturbing them. 4. Not rejecting leaves I will add more in comments If more comes to my mind.

Hi Folks, has making a 9hour workday become a standard practice in all offices? This is sucha shitty role.. why can we just finish our work n leave? Why do we have to stay n complete 9hrs as it’s some school.

I heard that the work culture at Deloitte is bad that people work for 15 hours a day? What's happening at Deloitte?

hey guys, I'm interviewing at a startup currently and they are asking me if I can work 6 days a week for a couple of months initially till the Product goes live. how do I respond to this? I want to take the offer but the 6 day work week is what pulling me back from accepting the offer.

I've been hearing a lot about this four-day work week concept lately. A friend of mine in New Zealand just started a job at a company that's trying it out. She says she's loving the extra day off, but I wonder about the long-term effects. Has anyone here experienced a compressed work week? I'm curious how it impacts productivity and work-life balance. If your company suddenly announced they were switching to a four-day week, how do you think it would go down?

It’s should and will always be about how productive those hours actually are. You see, no knowledge worker puts out more than 2.5 to 5 hours of real work in a day. That’s 12.5 to 25 hours of productive work in a week. The rest? It’s just meetings, updates and moving things around. Five-day work weeks? If you’re measuring by butts in seats, sure. But if you’re looking at actual output, it’s a joke. We need to obsess over productive time, not clocking hours. The attendance/week hours mindset is a pseudo-metric killing the workforce, making us focus on quantity over quality. Think about it: As a knowledge worker - your days are filled with meetings, status updates, and email threads. How much of that is real, impactful work? Very little. We’re stuck in busyness, mistaking it for productivity. But then again, if orgs obsess on outcomes only, employees will call them out: 'You don’t see my effort to go from A to Z, you don’t acknowledge it.' Hence, orgs measure you by hours. And for those thinking, 'Pay me by hours, overtime factored in' – great on paper, but useless for knowledge workers. IMHO, we are way more more comfortable measuring by hours than outcomes. We rave about deep work, about focus hours, but in reality we laude how long someone stays logged in. Weird isn't it.
