Why is it posle posla? Why does posao become posla?

Because posle means after and it requires the genitive case.

• Genitive singular: posla

So:

• posle posla = after work

This is a very common pattern in Serbian:

• posle škole = after school

So the change from posao to posla is just a normal case change.
