Do you ever feel obligated to work on the weekends? I did when I was early in my career but not so much anymore.

It's very common that a field engineers work on weekends as well to complete the targets on time.

Thanks for sharing

It seldom happens these days. Early on I was in a position where I had to be on call on the weekends. It wasn't that bad, plus, it was what I signed up for so I didn't mind it that much.

Thanks for sharing

In my experience, weekend work kind of comes with the territory of this work. Emergencies don’t stick to weekdays. I used to feel obligated, but now it’s more about managing expectations and making sure I take time to recharge when I can.

Thanks for sharing

We pretty much always have someone "on call" on the weekend. But it rotates, so our engineers are really only responsible to be on call once a month. Not too bad.

Thanks for sharing
