That’s why there’s SRE and on calls. Well in those big event, there likely will be a war room with hundreds of on-calls checking in either remotely or onsite. There could be an “oncall leader” as well or Speical OP team. Bad days for oncalls.
Honestly SDEs from google are quite lucky since they got SREs to back them. Elsewhere it might go to the dev team directly
EDIT: if you know any big company pays oncalls more, let me know and I’ll seriously consider join!
- neuronic 7y ago> Bad days for oncalls It sounds snarky, but it's honestly very hard to have sympathy with people who earn what these oncalls earn.
- whoevercares 7y agoHmm which ones of FAANG pays oncall extra? At least not A. Oncall normally means common Engineer who’s on oncall rotation. You can reimburse the dinner I think at least
- tazjin 7y agoGoogle compensates for on-call outside of normal business hours. (I'm a Googler)
- whoevercares 7y agoNot too surprised but still Google treats their people pretty damn good
- sethvargo 7y agoGoogle pays on-call engineers extra. Other companies often pay ENOCs in time off. I know a few only compensate IF you’re paged off-hours (e.g. paged at 3am, incident resolves at 6am, you get 3 hours of vacation time).
- abeppu 7y ago> I know a few only compensate IF you’re paged off-hours Yeah, that seems like it would lead to misaligned incentives (as well as under-price the opportunity costs of being on-call).
- Havoc 7y agoNetflix should do a docu about it. I'd watch it
