Going to the office on a Saturday

Some people say it's part of the job, others say it's to improve productivity, I say it's bull crap. Having to come to the office to attend a company "productivity workshop" on a saturday will only be wasting the employees well deserved brake and it certainly won't increase work productivity. Making employees sit and listen to one or two people talking at length about "productivity" is not a good way to boost office morale. The only reason why everyone will come to such things is because they're either well compensated for the attendance or afraid to be issued a warning, gets a pay cut, or loose their jobs for not attending, my proof, if such activities are not made compulsory without a reasonable compensation NOBODY will come, particularly because it's a Weekend and no, cheap door prizes will not increase employee enthusiasm to attend.

Making employees unhappy is the worst thing ANY company can ever do, we may need the job but they won't run without us wanting to do our jobs, only second to making an employee with a psychotic homicidal tendency unhappy about the working condition.
