Just gave an interview in a startup and the Founder is shamelessly asking will you work on the weekend?

I replied directly no because -Failure from your end in the managing the task with certain specific time line that is the core thing needs to be focused. -No proper discipline in managing the task -No compensation/recognition will be rewarded His face got completely changed after hearing this as he was expecting sugar coated answer.I have said this From my experience initially days of my careeer I thought as a Indian it's normal i worked ass of during Weeknds as well there is no time off in my first company and I was subjected to too much burnout and even after doing this the companies there is no result in Numbers.

Tell him you’ll work only on the weekends (I’m a huge believer in 4 day work week)
