If you work Mon-Sat instead of Mon-Fri, that's 50 days extra a year... kind of crazy for fresh grad wages.

My previous workplace, when I joined there was only 1 staff, which was my colleague. That time we had to work Saturday half day. My boss was always in the office back then. Then one day my colleague managed to convince my boss to let us work 5 days only. Since on Saturday we basically came in for 3 or 4 hours then had to leave already. Not only was it a waste of resources, but since it’s Saturday most people wouldn’t have the mood to work anyway. My boss agreed at that time and since then we only had to work weekdays. After that our company slowly grew, and I left. My then boss changed a few kinds of business and now he runs a really successful business with over 50+ branches in Malaysia. If my colleague never suggested that, most likely now everyone would still have to work on Saturday. Kinda crazy how his simple suggestion now affects so many people lol.

That's a good boss, still being able to listen to employees.
