A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Attending an indoor sports meet this weekend for my kid and can't help but see that half the parents are working on their laptops. It hurts me inside to see people having to work on the weekend, especially so many. Is this hustle? Or is this just part of the job?

Either way, people need to be free on their weekends or it will drive you nuts. This work culture isn't healthy.

Maybe they work flex time, so they can take time off during the week to do other stuff with their family. Or maybe they're not working at all, could be organizing sports stuff for their kid. Or doing an online class or something.

I realize I’m in the minority, but I love working on the weekends and then taking Mondays and Tuesdays off to do stuff when things are less crowded. Flex time is amazing.
