My least favorite reason to be working into Saturday evening is because the partner is not good at their job.

11am: you do B, C, D and I'll handle A. 6pm: please go ahead and get started on A.

I hope you didn’t make the mistake of submitting B, C and D as soon as you were finished.

A3, no. If, for example, you finish B, C and D at 6pm and you have plans until 9:30pm, you can send B, C and D to the partner after you finish what you had planned to do. Better still, you can send it the next day (Sunday) if the partner really wasn’t expecting to receive it on Saturday. As with most advice, application depends on the circumstances. If the work is truly urgent, then holding it may be inappropriate.
