> somehow I am part of this, and have to work extra weekends

Most engineers are not expected to work weekends unless they are on call. You don't have to put up with it.

In theory maybe.

My point is why should I even make that fight? I have my own issues, my own life, my own people that depend on me.

I don't think i've ever been asked to work weekends in any job i've had. Its not normal in the industry for employers to require this (except if you are oncall)
