😈Manager😈: “Hi just checking in to see that [huge thing due Friday] is going OK?”

Me: “Fine, thank you. I wonder if I could submit that report [that you need to read] a day late on Saturday as there’s like 4 special things going on this week”.

😈Manager😈: “Oh sorry. I have a lot to do and I’ll need that done by the deadline” [end of day on Friday]

Me: “Are you going to read the report on Saturday?”

Manager: [Who has a fuck ton less responsibilities than me] “There’s a lot I need to do and I need to have that report done in time.”

Me: “I’m trying not to be difficult, but there’s a lot going on atm. Are you going to read it on Saturday”.

😈Manager😈: “Just so you know I’m only asking you to submit report by the [actually really obscenely tight] deadline.”

Me: “OK, I’ll stay late on Friday to get it done.”

I know that PMC people deserve the wall, but every working person I’m used to treats end of day deadlines as first thing in the morning next working day. Due on Tuesday? Ass early Wednesday is fine. Who the fuck cares? People need sleep and rest.
