You don't NEED a weekend. The concept is barely 100 years old. (sh.itjust.works)

The only reason the concept of a weekend was implemented was because that was the same time the 40-hour work week was implemented.

before the 40-hour work week existed, people could work and rest whenever they needed to.

But now yes, we do indeed need weekends.
