I used to be on call, the on call team consisted of 3 people. The site would constantly go down and I would get paged 3-5 times a week, typically around 4am or 11pm. It felt like I was never free of the burden, it ruined my ability to have any kind of life. The folks I worked with insisted on receiving informational alerts 24/7. I set hangouts to have a special noise for it. That noise still makes me jump. For some reason some folks were absolutely against raising the threshold or removing it entirely. The alert in some situations had a valid reason but would randomly go off at all hours of the day or night to remind you you that you were on call and fuck you. I really miss that job but the oncall was just fucking the worst and has caused me to turn down future jobs because of I was burned by doing on call.
