How Big Tech Turned Work into a Religion

Sure... I've been the subject of this for sure. However here are two options

(1) Leave the company. There are plenty of companies that don't do this. Just keep changing jobs till you find one

(2) Make sure you defensively program to keep yourself out of emergencies. That means doing your work on time, and if you're not consistently capable of that, then waiting before taking on more work.

I'm not saying be a social pariah. Just introspect once in a while and adjust from there.

I've not worked a job with on call for many years now. Highly recommend. I am not an infra engineer. They would have to pay me a lot more to be.
