The feeling of being on-call is what sucks the soul from a worker's body. I've experienced it off and on over the last 20 years and IMHO it's one of the great problems of our time. I'd like to see labor move towards a direction more like Uber, where you decide when you're on the clock, and when you're off, you're off. One of the difficulties though is that the Uber model only works for saturated and playbook industries like driving, delivering food, walking dogs, etc. It doesn't work so well for the decision-making tasks of more complex jobs where there are ramifications for every step: https://blog.ycombinator.com/read-this-before-you-build-uber-for-x/ https://blog.ycombinator.com/read-this-before-you-build-uber... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15150083 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15150083
