When to use it
Asking about weekend plans is a universal small-talk opener, usually Thursday or Friday at the office. 计划 (plans) is the neutral choice; 安排 (arrangements) sounds slightly more formal and is common with 您. Among friends, 干嘛 (whatcha doing) is the most natural; a casual 周末干嘛 hits like English 'what you up to this weekend?' Note that in Mainland work culture 996 is still a thing in tech, so some colleagues may just answer 加班 (working overtime) with a tired laugh.
