Is it realistic for managers to expect employees to work every weekend?

If his contractural obligations mandate it, yes. Just like in the Marines
*If he does not fulfill them and loses critical business, you may not have a job.
*He has a moral obligation to compensate you for it fairly and,
*He also a moral responsibility to grant you personal time and rest.
*If it incompatible with your life and family, you have a moral obligation to act in your best interests and find a new job

Employment is not social media. But if you join, you must conform to the rules.

if you let them... managers will expect you to work even from the grave...

I worked half a day on Saturday for many years but I know today people would not deal with it.

If you work in the private sector, they will always want you to work like a slave.

If they are scheduled to in advance, then yes. If it is a M-F job then no.

If the job requires weekend coverage then yes.

[kitty91996]

So you would work every single weekend for the rest of your life with not ever having a weekend off?

If I had two days off during the week. I’d make it work.

Depends on the job and many other variables
