I traded absurdity for salary. I just said, I'll need to work Saturdays to make this happen, and will need at least 2 others in on Saturdays (in office - full day work). I asked for +50% and got it. It helped I'd been clear that my schedule was 8:30-5:00 M-F to start and was younger at the time. Ironically - these days I just wish I had free time and curse myself fairly often for being over-committed. So rarely worth it even for more $ especially if you have kids and are a stranger to them. While I'm paid extremely well QOL is WAY down and stress is very high.
