No, never had anything close to that in 18 months of reserve here.
Skypilot has good advice, don't take reserve personally. Crew support's job is to staff flights, it's just business to them. As CCB mentioned they often don't do the logical thing like releasing you early when there is a .1% chance they could actually use you.
From what I've seen, people get most frustrated with CS when they commute to reserve. When not getting that early release means you miss the last flight home, you can get pretty bitter. If you live in base, not getting early release just means you get home a couple hours later.
