I worked my share of weekends when I was younger. I also worked holidays because “since I didn’t have young children any more, I didn’t need the time off”.
Is the idea behind that joke actually true in the US? I never encountered anyone with the idea to have people work on the weekend on short notice. Not even, when the IT broke the company’s server – only to detect that the backup-tapemachine was broken for a year.

He needs you to work all weekend, but of course he won’t be there with you.

With some of the families I know, that’s not a big selling point.

That last little sentence in the job description that reads: “And other duties and work hours as required, based on the needs of the organization.”

My boss always makes me work on the weekend. He’s a bit of a jerk. Did I mention I’m self-employed?

Yeah the Family. It’d be a shame if something were to happen to your free time.

Anytime they start giving you the “company like family” line, it’s time to put your resume in circulation and mind your back.
