Even Facebook does on-call. So money can’t solve it. If you wrote the code and it breaks you’re kinda the only one that can fix it (in a hurry)

- thrower123 7y agoAny time you're called in for an emergency off-work hours, you should get time and a half, minimum of four hours paid. Blue collar industrial jobs treat their people better than software usually does.
- tayo42 7y ago> called in for an emergency off-work hours Yes this should be the only time your ever called in off hours, there better be a threat of people dieing. hah The reality of oncall is the server is filled up because no one can bother to rotate a log file, so you get paged at 4am to delete a file.
- ody4242 7y agoI suspect we work at the same company :D
- tayo42 7y agoYeah I'm being idealistic, but money can solve it, smaller companies do have teams around the world to do 24/7 on call. Partially, i think its this way because it is accepted, no one seems to question it or push back on it. No one values their free time out side of work? Also, Every time Ive been oncall I have been oncall for code I didn't write, I haven't even always have a job coding (ops/devops/sre roles) and have been on call for services. Or there's that thing that been neglected and unowned but someone needs to be oncall for it.
