The worst I ever got abused that way was right after college - I worked for salary, but my company billed me out hourly, and they increased the rate substantially for emergency call outs, AKA for me going to work when I am not scheduled to and do not want to - and am not paid to.

There was one Saturday where my family and friends went to the beer festival without me, I went unexpectedly to work, the company made thousands off my Saturday, and I got a pat on the back. That was the day I started getting myself outta that situation, shit was unbelievable. Not a large company either, maybe ~100 employees, and it was a ~common practice in the industry (field service for industrial controls).
