Yeah, that.
I worked for six years as a single male giving in to schedule whims of family people. Towards the end I told my super that I shouldn't have to work because so&so wants to be with her family. He informed me the exact opposite and scheduled me to work New Year's Morning when a computing system could have easily done the work via automation.
I turned in my notice and got a better job being the supervisor (bonus: in a beach town). Every holiday I programmed the system to make sure NOBODY had to work. The first year I did that, our GM questioned me about it, I said, "what business are we going to see on (holiday)?" None.
From then on I have been very territorial about my work and always point out when I save the day.
