I work in the education world. My whole department has to work this Saturday from 8am-4:30pm. When it was brought to our bosses attention that we should get comp time for this, their response was “well it’s part of the job. It’s been on the calendar”. As if giving us advance notice of forced weekends makes it okay. The job has a lot of these “well it’s part of the job” moments that are required and outside work hours. And we nearly never get comp time for it.
