While most of us work only 5 days a week, there exists a certain breed of employees who need to work on a Saturday as well. Why, you ask? Could be their targets haven’t been achieved or that there is something urgent and unforeseen which has come up. When asked (or told) to work on Saturday most of these people feel the following.

Most people get both Friday and Saturday nights to party. You get only the Saturday and even then you may have to pass because you get only Sunday for household chores and may need to wake early for that. If you manage to party on a Sunday night, working with hangover on Monday is the last thing you want.
Everything is to be planned meticulously in advance

Since you have only Sunday as a week off, you need to plan your work in banks and other public offices well in advance and have to apply for leave accordingly.
You secretly wish for a non working Saturday

You pray to God to have some mercy on you and secretly wish that your Saturdays were non working. Very often you subtly hint about it to your top management as an idea to increase employee satisfaction.
