All these people saying "just don't have a phone in your bedroom" evidently don't work in the datacenter sphere, because if one of my sites has a problem and my boss can't reach me, I might as well be fired

Most people don't need to be on call. Personally, I don't want to turn on my laptop when I'm with my family (much less get up at night) just because some manager has had an 'incident'. I hope you get appropriate compensation for being available round the clock.

You chose to be on-call. Presumably because the compensation made that worth it for you. But that's your doing. I tried being on-call in my early 20s. Lasted a few months. Never. Again.

  there is a difference being waken up by the thing you choose to be on-call for and being waken up in the middle of the night by a random application because fuck you that's why

    Are you saying that your device doesn't let you silence application notifications? Which device is that so that I can stay far away? All of these comments make my iPhone/AppleWatch sound like the only devices with a silent-mode and a DND-mode that work. That surely can't be true, so why are we pretending that these features don't exist? If you're getting woken up by app notifications in 2021, it's time to RTFM.

It was also probably not worth the time spent reading it because: 1. It might not even mention the behaviour of the DND mode after the "DND for 1 hour" finishes. 2. Even if it did mention it, I'd rather be awaken once than spend hours reading mostly useless stuff. - No, in 2021 there shouldn't be an app/device waking me up unless I explicitly allowed it to happen. Especially if the device *knows I'm sleeping*.
