If you work in ops, you will get paged sometimes, and you'll handle maintenance windows/unplanned emergencies during off hours. It's the cost of doing business.

I don't see this as "flexible work", necessarily - we don't say that a nurse on a 14-hour shift has flexible hours. That said, if you handle a midnight outage, your boss had better be ok with you coming in late the next morning.
