Wanted to start off saying I am an hourly employee and not salary. For the past 3 weeks I needed to do some work over the weekend for the C-suite officer.

Being honest I will clock 2 hours at home to finish up all the work if put my best foot forward then move forward with enjoying my weekend. Why would anyone come to office to do 2 hours of work and then leave? She is forcing me to come in but it is not worth the 2 hours so I am dragging the hours out and eating company time for coming in every weekend to make it worthwhile.

Commute is about 90 minutes round trip.

Am I petty or wrong for doing this? How would you guys handle this situation?

Please be brutally honest with the answers.
