If your engineers are working on weekends, for normal projects and deadlines, then you have a serious culture and process problem.
On-call engineers for high risk projects and deployments are another situation and not the norm.
The only leaders and teams I have seen push back on this, are the ones who 1) have no kids or 2) have their entire social life wrapped up with their work life. Why would they ever stop working when they can just play video games together at the office and say they are “working late”?
