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.

Every single one…

Almost every weekend since I started working in an agency. But of course I recognized that this is unhealthy. Going to change these soon.

Usually 0

Averages out to two ish

All of them.

depends on whether we’re in production, maybe 1-2 every 4 months.

Most of them.

During heavy production cycles 3 out of 4.

About every other weekend. Perpetual new biz
