it is paid, but I value more my time than my money I venture to say that, if they paid you a billion dollars per hour, you would bend your own rules a little. In a case like that, I would do nothing else but be on-call for a few months, then live a life of luxurious leisure for the rest of my life. The thing then is to price your time so that it is out-of-reach for the company. If you can't manage to do that, you have two options: (A) knuckle-under and do the on-call. (B) leave the company.
