Hey I’m posting this because my boyfriend works here. I’m hoping someone will see the injustice of this company. Don’t ever work for this shitty company or this shitty CEO.
Since acquiring a new CEO, Xilinx now requires employees to work Saturdays regardless whether or not they have work to do. This is really stupid because my boyfriend comes in 8:30am and has to work with India so he has to stay up often until midnight. We had a dinner last night (Sunday) and he couldn’t come because he has meetings with India. Even when he finished all of his work for the week and doesn’t have work on Saturdays, he’s still required to come in just to “twiddle his thumbs”.
Not having a proper weekend has created many problems for him. He is going through depression and since he’s still on visa, he feels like his hands are tied. He only plans to stay at this company until he has a proper visa.
He has been seeing a doctor and they advised him he should stop working on weekends. It’s the cause of his depression but he is afraid of his job so he doesn’t stop. I’m afraid for his emotional well being since he’s been working so much.
If anything happens to him because of overworking in this environment, I’m going to make sure to sue the shit out of Xilinx.

What’s so screwed up is that people who work Sunday and weekday evenings don’t have time to recharge. This is why he’s going through depression. It only takes a little bit but when you have to do it for a prolonged period of time, it affects people’s mental health.
But, we have too much crap to be done. So people either learn to drop the crap or work all the time.
For management to be mandating working Saturdays even when you have nothing to do is ridiculous! Way to lower morale and provide zero value.
