Almost never forced work weekends unless I’m working on a pitch or something else major. That happens maybe 1-3 times a year.

Sometimes I work weekends on my own accord because I’m bored an/or I’m excited about what I’m working on

Similar. Rarely have to..a few times a year for a pitch or big client meeting. May work to get ahead. [currently watching compliance videos while i clean my apartment 😴]

Almost every single weekend since the beginning of the year.

Not a single weekend, but I'm not a creative.

Ever since I traded agency life for in-house, none. 🙏🏻

My story: One night last year, I worked until midnight for a few nights straight.

Next day, I needed to step away from work for an hour in the late afternoon.

Boss via text: “I just slacked you 15 minutes ago. You haven’t responded and I can’t seem to find a vacation or out-of-office notice from you.”

Since then, my weekends and evenings have become sacrosanct. If I’m asked to work, I just say “I can’t.” And they do t dare pull the “not team player” nonsense in my performance reviews.

An anomaly...

Maybe 1 or 2 out of 4, usually. But only a few hours in the evening or something. Generally only when working on a big project that I’m having a hard time concentrating on during normal business hours.

Unfortunately, I’m very much a night time creative, and thriving on 2 a.m. design can only be an occasional occurrence.

Usually zero as far as significant work unless there’s a major pitch. Cleaning up emails or throwing a random hour into a deck happens sometimes but that’s also mostly on my own accord.

14 weekends last year. So far 1 this year

One or two. But the number of hours I put in varies. Sometimes it’s two. Sometimes it’s six. But very rarely is it my whole weekend.
