Which would you prefer if you had to work DAY shift on the weekend?

Would you rather work....

EVERY Saturday

OR

EVERY OTHER Saturday and Sunday

True. Makes going away easier.

Every other sat/sun so you could enjoy an overnight trip now and then.

I'd really like every Sunday off. It'd be nice to not have to spend the whole weekend working. But then, like others said if you want to go away for a weekend you'd have it off. In some places, Sundays are slower so it doesn't hurt to be at work either.

For me that's a tough one because I can see the benefit of both options.

I also prefer working every other weekend, it especially comes in handy when it comes to vacation week so you can "extend" it a little when you know what weekend you have off.

I agree Sat and Sun every other week is better.

Personally, I'd rather work every Sunday. I realize that wasn't one of your options but I don't really like either one.

Agree with every other Saturday...that's the schedule I work now as a psych tech and it's nice having a whole weekend off to decompress.

Every other weekend.... you could be a normie and have 50% of weekends off! I work nights so I work part of every single weekend, it's the Social Life Ruiner.
