Work on weekend?!! Advice needed

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 .

step 1: Give him the updated timeline for the task assigned. step 2: Let him know you'll pick this up first on Monday

If he doesn't agrees Ask him to email you the details for WORKING ON SATURDAY

He doesnt work according to timelines lol he does and assign whatever he likes . He even burn my hours on sprint board according to him.
Such shithousery he does that too confidently . 🤣

If you really don’t want to work so I’d recommend you to stand up to this shitty behaviour but also ask yourself did you have sufficient time to complete this during working days :p ?

This idea may work most of the time.
Do keep a part of completed work(code) in reserve which manager don't know. Always have enough reserve so that if manager asks suddenly, when you are thinking of relaxing a bit, you tell him it will take 'x' time to do and give the completed work from reserve. Do some part of future work, store it in reserve when you have time. Keep this cycle so that you don't feel any pressure.
Note: This is only for these type of people.

Same, bro same. My current manager is toxic but my ex-manger way more toxic no technical knowledge whatsoever, 25% of the time, i finish my entire sprint work in first 5 days and rest

They think we have to dance according to their tune. Do this and find other job as soon as possible is the only possible way. And from my experience, they will ask such things only to people who finish their work in right time. People who are not doing the work he will simply threaten them and then fire them at one point. Such people do help us to push forward to get a better job ASAP.

UPDATE : So manager called me and bitched about how he was working late daily for past week for no apparent reason .
(Idk why he was working daily late because all the work was going smooth and i saw no task , so i deduce he is a gand chaatu who was on call with US counter part. ) Tldr: manager said " SAARI RAAT MAI SOYA NAHI , AB MUJHE SONE DO".

Update 2.0- All the task are done as i expected and i am logging off 30 mins early too. With this rant post i wanted to show how some managers who just want to show their power and supremacy do such tactics . They dont know that such things are the ones which will come back to them one day .
Idk what happens to me in future but i hate overtime unless its ground breaking task . So i will always stand up for this and will deny any unnecessary show of power by any fktard.
These dumb single braincell managers think shouting on devs will get their task done faster but they dont know that its only temp and so is their position.
Anyway off to enjoy my weekend Thanks for listening to my dear rant.
