Yes Saturdays have been very busy for the past 2 or 3 years. In fact this was mentioned at national level when it came to discuss bsi. It appears we all work at 100 bsi on a Saturday with the same amount of mail on a Wednesday. Why? Because we are motivated. (That's my answer by the way).

Managers tend to leave us alone because they too want to finish early. However Mon-Fri is when we feel bullied and harassed with unrealistic targets and mountains of mail. Somethings got to give at some point.
