In _some_ cases, standing up to client pressure and saying, "Sorry, but I don't work on weekends" can earn a client's respect.

True. And if you always roll over when you have explicitly said you won't, you'll lose respect. (Or lost appreciation for standing up)

The key is you have to deliver on what you say will. Then you can earn the respect.
