Every job I’ve ever had. From washing dishes to unloading a truck at Kmart to flying for Uncle Sam. If my boss asked me to stay 2 hours extra for some reason and I said no thanks then there would definitely be ramifications.
What I’ve never had till now is a job where I could leave early and still get paid for work I didn’t do. All I have to do is fill out a form and talk to the duty pilot. I’ve done it more than once, it’s a total non event.

But really, who cares if you are fatigued while washing the dishes? C'mon, so what if you are tired while unloading a truck at Kmart? And military flying? By definition we do things in the military that are unsafe, especially in combat.
But there is NO reason in civil airline flying to accept unreasonable risks like not being fit for duty at all times.

Most jobs. While the proximity of punishment may not be obvious....there will be a professional cost to not being open to going the extra step.

I've also been asked by my boss to work beyond the schedule at every job I've ever had.

Its a process that shoudn't exist in the first place though. It exists as a deterrant. And its also an opportunity to testify against yourself since you have to justify what you shouldn't have to justify.
