    Sure I’ll support, but let’s talk about adequate weekend bonuses first.
    And you sure won’t mind that I’ll take Monday off in exchange, will you?

      If this can be sprung on me at short notice, then I want “on call” money, so I leave that weekend free and don’t make plans. You can consider that I’m on retainer for those weekends, then pay me extra if I’m actually called upon.

          Legally mandated where I come from. If you aren’t being paid, they aren’t actually allowed to make you come in on a day off.

              Indeed we do not. Whether you have a monthly salary (we don’t really do annual salaries, just a cultural difference I guess) or an hourly wage in your contract, you’re entitled to overtime (at 1.5x on non-holiday non-night times - rate can get even higher for holidays and particularly holiday nights, and if you’re salaried, it’s just calculated off your average hourly rate for the month before the overtime) and on-call fees. When I first learned this was not the case in the US, it was actually shocking to me. Holidays are double pay even if it’s not overtime.

      Funny, I have to ask permission to work on weekends since they have to pay me more for it.

      (Not USA obviously.)
