The work ethic is in tact. It is not fair to load people with stress and ask them to drop everything. You're conflating poor resource allocation with "work ethic". Burning the midnight oil when it can be avoided is not work ethic. The correct way is to load balance outage resolution.
- mbrumlow 8y agoI really don't know how to reply to you as you have set up a bunch of windmills you assumed from my previous post. Who said anything about poor resource allocation? Who said we need to load people with stress? That being said -- when you are on call -- dropping everything is exactly what is expected.
- gmueckl 8y agoBut limiting responsibilities for on call employees is a way of limiting the workload they have during that time - ultimately benefiting the employees. They are on call, not working. I don't see the windmills here.
- mav3rick 8y agoYes this was my point.
- mav3rick 8y agoMany many AWS people have left citing on call as the worst part of their job. Also, it is really a far fetched allegation that interviewers try to fail interviewees to hide their own incompetence. I get that you may not think much of Google SREs but to allege that is just in bad spirit. I hope you do get to see that the people inside Google are one of the best perks of working here. They are smart and motivated and willing to help each other.
