I appreciate that this works for you but to me this comes across more as an issue with work boundaries more than the benefits of weekend work.
Advocate for 'no-meeting days' multiple times in the week. Advocate for blocks of half-days in the work week where the whole team goes radio silence. We implemented this in both the team I am working in now and in my previous gig.
Managers will absolutely defend the team's time like this if you pitch it constructively and the team delivers results to back it up.
- wombat-man 4y agoIf you can go offline for half a day then I would think that you could block out "focus time" on your schedule. Some of my coworkers do this, and I do too from time to time.
- ok_dad 4y agoI really don’t care about weekend days, though, and I don’t work any more than usual. I prefer it this way. Like I said, it’s but for everyone but it’s not like I’m some company tool working all the time haha.
