My boss sarcastically said working overtime is normal in Singapore. I usually work at least 55 hours a week.

I received messages at late night on work questions , and assignment to do this and that tomorrow.

when on longer days leave which cross over weekends, I said I can only do when I am back at work next weekday. My boss said, “but you are not on leave on Saturday and Sunday right?”

Is my work normal? Is being a salaried slave normal in Singapore?

Tell him you want to resign or you want production line jobs that can’t be done at home.

If you're not being paid on weekends, then retort him back
