How many people have works that can be called at 03:00 and lives are at risk? . I guess they pay you for being next to the phone if not they are abusing of you,

How many people have works that can be called at 03:00 and lives are at risk? . I guess they pay you for being next to the phone if not they are abusing of you, your boss should have someone for answering at those times if that can be that dangerous..

Does it need to be a life? Can it be "we're losing 5 million dollars an hour while this is down". I'm perfectly happy to wake up at 3am to a call if it will save my client 20 million dollars. On the other hand, they're perfectly comfortable with me telling them, "I'll be in a bit late today because last night was rough". Give and take.

  If you are so valuable good for you and your boss but i hope that they not only know but they pay you accordingly. that what i try to tell all the time if you need after hours you should show me love, but most of the times they want you to do it for free and not even a thank you and if you refuse they make look like the bad guy. Sorry it's my work not my life and is your business if you love it that much it's not my problem.

    I feel like you completely missed this part... > On the other hand, they're perfectly comfortable with me telling them, "I'll be in a bit late today because last night was rough". Give and take. I'm comfortable waking up at 3am in the morning if it's needed, and my clients are comfortable with me not always being in a seat from 9 to 6. Flexibility on both ends, give and take. Plus, they are always appreciative of any effort, in or out of normal work hours. I love the clients I work with. We're a team.

  Anyone whose website is responsible for $5 million an hour can afford to pay someone in the proper timezone to keep the thing monitored. There should never be a reason to wake someone up at 3am to fix a "we're losing 5 million dollars an hour" website problem.
