I’ve ventured out to look at my calendar once or twice on a weekend because I need to plan an appt or otherwise around work calendar and realize other people are online (managers/directors). Do they really work on weekends? And if so, why?

@OP yes it’s sad that you do work one weekend out of the month and for such little few penny stone at you as a raise why they are filthy rich
Bootlickers
So just like you and who ever you saw online both spent time thinking about work this weekend. You on here accomplishing nothing, hopefully their time spent thinking about work was productive and made things easier for themselves.
Sometimes. But usually so I can be out of the office for a personal weekday commitment without taking PTO
I work any OT I can. The only way to comfortably survive with the sh!tty pay and ZERO pay increases even for a 5.
OCD, or their job is their substitute for a romantic partner.
If you check Teams or Email on your phone it can stay green for up to 10 minutes after. Maybe they are all actually working but hopefully they are just quickly checking while waiting in line somewhere.
Very Rarely. In fact if I have reached my 37.5 hours for the week by Friday noon - I take friday afternoon off. Need to know labor laws
If a customer asks me to work off hours I usually will.
@ag I think I know that toxic dynamic duo. All they do is delegate and steal credit for others ideas oh and don’t forget the fake sympathy when they are both stone cold as ice. Maybe they will get cut in the next round!
There is a horrid leaders yes man that lives on the computer in ecs area, thinks that working longer hours equates to the horrible and clueless vp liking them more and says I have been working all weekend (eye roll here) it is because of poor time management skills toxic work environment and just fear of getting cut if they aren’t the biggest #1 add kisser. This one is a rag with the two of them like blind leading the blind.
They don't pay me to work on weekends, so no. Given the raise this year and the decrease in 401k match, one could debate they are still paying me for 40 every week.
Corporate schedules system maintenance on a rotating basis over the weekends, and we have no say in what happens, or when. Someone from my team has to log in after the maintenance is complete, to verify they didn't bu---r up anything, so they can either try to fix it, or roll back the changes, before the bulk of users try to log in for work on Monday.
I have noticed the same thing, especially this year
