The 1st company here I worked those hours, the 2nd and 3rd do not (office staff/management). I remember around 12 or so years ago a mate changing from 5.5 to 5 day weeks and being over the moon that there were no more Saturday morning shifts. It doesn't seem to have caught on. This was in electronics manufacturing in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a thing here in Amata Nakorn... this morning the roads were deserted so that tells me not many companies are doing the 6 days thing.

This may also mean that there is slowdown in business. Sure if there was demand, factories would run on Saturday to fulfill the demand, and employees would be happy to make.O.T. O.T. was a big part of my guys salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it a thing every Saturday as this past week the roads have been quieter than normal as most of the Japanese companies have been closed due to some Holiday back in Japan so maybe the traffic for me this morning is a flow on from that. Our production staff here do work Saturdays though... both day and night. Edited August 17, 2019 by Sir_Fondles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
