> Not to mention, upper management tried to gaslight everyone into thinking on-call was just part of normal work and didn’t warrant additional compensation.
Every position I've held (save my current one), that is most definitely the norm. If you have a busy night managers are cool with you coming in late the next day (or potentially not at all), but it's very unusual to be paid for on call in my experience.
Fortunately every job I've held had the situation where the manager was fine with me/the team taking make-up time the following day if you were interrupted during offhours. Sure extra comp would be nice, but if on-call has to be done, this isn't the worst way.
