When I was still working, regularly scheduled hours were just a suggestion. With a global organization, it was always working hours somewhere. I suppose it gets busy a Wendy's on the weekends and they call you in to make the fries.
On my first ship in Guam, I would do what we called 'stand-by' duty for others on the ship during holidays so they could go home and be with their families. My wife didn't go to Guam. This was 1972-3.
Everything I do is around this schedule. I have not had to work a double yet. I hope they don't get that creative with me.

Depending on the season and the project load it depends if there ia anything like a Day Off. At my level yes we do taper down, however we realize the S__t can hit the fan at anytime. Last weekend got up at 5 on Saturday and put in a few hours on some repeorts that I need to present this week
