A company can’t “order” you to stay overnight. Unlike the military you can walk away.

People did walk away eventually. But not immediately because when you have a family, for instance, you can't leave a job without making sure you have health insurance etc., People eventually left once they found other jobs.

If you’re otherwise a productive employee you can just say no too, and dare them to fire you.

"daring" your employer is not a wise career advice.
