What's the most ridiculous thing you've done to avoid work?

I once faked a power outage to get out of a deadline.

Any elaborate schemes to dodge responsibilities?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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

Need genuine opinion!

Any weekend plans?
Is it only me who’s just sitting idle and thinking what to do during weekends, and will end up getting bored or probably sleeping?

Any good suggestions?

Weekend plans

Software Developer

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?

working post work hours and on weekends?

Disclaimer: Probably a rant.
Let me give you some context. I am an ambivert, I don't like interacting with new people. I have been working from home since the pandemic. 

Last day I, along with 20 other people was asked if they can come together on a weekend to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of a project(who does that) that I too was working on
One guy said he is busy and might not come. The organizer started to plead with him to go to the event, on the call, a conference call. And since I don't like the attention I didn't say I won't be going to that event either.

I understand from an organizer point of view, you have to show the maximum amount of people. But consider this, it's a freaking weekend. It should be a time to unwind from work and find some comfort of their own liking.

Thank you for attending my Ted Rant. Have a nice day

I really don't want to go to team building activities

As most of us look forward to weekend or long weekend, I wanna know what are few things or that one thing u try not to fail in doing such that after weekend u don’t regret that it’s over? It can be as simple as getting a space cleaned in ur home. I am only looking for things that u cannot do on a weekday and so u look forward to doing it over weekend.
