How many of y'all have to work on weekends?

If you do, both days or one day?

Never, unless it's a major deployment then maybe depending on my involvement.

Otherwise, I'm on call 24/7 anyway, if that counts?

@torbuntu in my previous place, not only weekends, even the late night hours they message me.

Well after suffering for few months I decided to leave, although they said they will give me higher salary, I rejected it. Best decision I have ever made.

Those kind of things slowly eat your mind and motivation.

About once every quarter when I deploy new major version of application, usually it breaks database schema / adjust / migrate data.

I do it from home and it only once took me full day cause some fuckers from other company configured load balancer heartbeat with malformed http request.
Usually it is less then hour.

The problem with 9to5 jobs is that they’re not 9to5 anymore.

Irrespective of how good you are, undertrained colleagues and/or incompetent Team Leads lead you to such an imbalance.

I'm not forced to but I do work on weekends

Do you guys get paid for the hours?

@Nanos 6am to 8pm? Sound like bullshit to me. Already saw a post where you were complaining and saying if I take a break I'm fired. Where are you from?

Does oncall duty count? If so, at least once a month, sometimes more, but only one day of the weekend, if I were woken up 4 times by servers "catching on fire" (As I like to say, though luckily, I'm just a sysadmin, not doing the physical maintenance), I would not be very mentally present the next day.

Fuck working on weekends. Don’t even work 40 hrs. Life is worth more.

Very rare, like 4 times per year. And get paid.
