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.

3/4, 1-2 hours.
When I was younger I worked more late nights and weekends. It made more sense then as I was compensated well for new biz and that takes time and diligence outside of the busy day to day. Haven’t had to do it over the last few years because I’d set myself up well and now have a wife and kid who deserve my attention. I know I’ll work weekends again. I don’t mind it so much if it’s temporary and there’s a goal (winning a pitch, getting new clients).
I try not to. You put the boundaries.

I’ve worked maybe one day on a weekend this year
Usually none. They often ask (but have gotten MUCH better at honoring my time). I work my ass off during “regular” hours and we try to work as smart as we can. If late feedback is given, I usually tell them I’ll get to it on Monday. Pitches and big client meetings can be their own beast, but family and mental health comes first on the weekend and after 7 during the week. Nothing is more important. If you consistently produce great creative thinking & work, it shouldn’t ever be an issue.
All of them
On average maybe 3-4 times a year
