> 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).
