This was my experience at my last company. The weekend work was required to be ready for the week. Leaders would always say don’t work the weekend but expect many hours of work to be done by first thing Monday morning.

Omg 😱 that’s crazy

I basically never work the weekends anymore. I used to work the vast majority of weekends in my prior role, where it was expected, and it was unsustainable.
