Do you go to work on Saturdays?

I am a school teacher. Sometimes we go to schools on Saturdays for meetings or club activities, and sometimes don't. In India, some offices have Saturdays as holidays, while in other companies people work. Some even have half days. I prefer Saturday to be a holiday, as one day is required for during household chores and then you have Sunday to relax. Do you go to work on Saturdays?

@anil02 Actually now we have many workshops during vacations and teachers are not allowed to sit while they are in the class... So everyday we stand for at least 4 hours.. Now any other educated person, at least doesn't have to do that kind of manual labor

@Sheali actually i dont like him working for 6days a week. But time will come he would probably go self-employed.

Yes, I do work on every Saturday until and unless there is a public holiday. I am used with the same so I have no problem to work on this day.

My office job is Monday to Friday so I don't do that at the weekend. That's good because I already have trouble fitting in everything that I need to do at the weekend. I do some freelance work so I will spend time on that while my youngest son attends his drama group. I used to teach during that time but it's no longer possible for me to do that due to transport.

I work every Saturday, unless I can sneak one day off here and there on vacation. It kind of sucks, missing out on some of the social life things, but what can you do?

@Sheali I don't have a job right now so I have every weekend free for now. When I was a cleaner I would work Saturdays. I didn't mind though as we got paid a little bit extra on those days. And then triple the amount on Sundays but we took turns on Sundays.
