Must be willing to work odd hours, weekends and public holidays?

This is the reddest of red flags for me. As soon as a company puts this in there job advert I'm scrolling to the next. Do you know what they really mean by this? “Must be willing to work odd hours, weekends and public holidays” = “You'll be working odd hours every damn week without being paid overtime of course, what did you think? Also, you'll be working 3 weekends out of 4 and work for public holidays while me and my family enjoy our time together. Oh and don't forget, no overtime because you agreed to this before signing up.” And you? What's the redflag that instantly makes you swipe for the next job? Oh and by the way this is a customer service role at Amazon.

My therapist has decided to work through lunch for me and I don’t know how to deal with that. Looking for your input.

I am currently experiencing something of a mental health crisis, and I asked if I could see her more frequently. She has decided to cut her lunch in half every two weeks to see me more often. When she said that, I did protest, but I was also crying somewhat violently at the time, so it didn't really get through. I am in my 30s, but she is much younger and I am worried about contributing to that kind of work behaviour, especially since the severity of my situation is in large part to a very bad burnout I ignored until it completely crippled me. I was hoping you guys could give me some of your thoughts on this. (I will not leave this post up for too long, I was just hoping for some outside perspective.)

Dear HR people of antiwork… is this a red flag?

I saw the following sentence in a job description: “Nothing in this job description restricts management’s right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities of this job at any time.”. Can any HR professionals confirm is this a red flag?
