People who work weekends, do you find it a lot more relaxed or is it catching up from the week?

It’s definitely quieter to work on the weekends. Sometimes I like it sometimes I find it frustrating that I need to work on the weekends.

Yeah for me it’s the fact that I have to work weekends when others don’t that bothers me, but the quietness I do like so it’s a catch 22 really

I love to freelance the weekend because it's quiet, no silly Slack messages to distract you or supervisors disrupting the flow with nonsensical side quests.

I wish day to day I could just mute my teams, so much more would get done !

On the weekends I tend to work on my own projects, so it's relatively relaxed. There are occasions where I'm working on something for which there's a deadline, so those weekends can get pretty busy. But if I'm working on a long-term project for my own amusement, I can move at more relaxed pace.

This sounds almost fun 🤣 but I agree the relaxing pace is much better

Yes. It’s a lot of tying up things from the week, but with a lot fewer people around so it’s not as busy. I feel like I get more done in 2 days on the weekend than all week because it’s a smaller group working.

Yeah thats what I like about weekend work too, a lot more can get done without the distractions

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer.

Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?
