      Just happened on Friday

      Coworker: client says they need this problem solved by Monday. Can we hop on a call this weekend?

      Me: Why exactly do they need this solved by Monday?

      Coworker: uhhhh…

      Yeah no. Talk to you on Monday.

      Just say no! You deserve to enjoy your weekend and you should never work without at least time in lieu.

      The higher up I go, the more I ask why. And the more often “eh, I guess next release will be fine” is the answer.

      Jobs that only do weekdays are such a blessing, I hated working rotating shift!

      There is a rule, meetings will take up as much time as there is, so if you don’t put a cap on it, it will be hours not 30 minuets.

      The same rule applies to work schedule planning, you will work weekends unless you plan not to.

      And you will raise respect of you when you just say no you have already promised the time to the misses or someone else of importance.
