That's pretty funny.
In IT it would be more like just getting phonecalls in the middle of the night and operating Service Now tickets, "Mr John Jackson, it is from mainframe services. We need you to file a ticket for team Z to restart service Bob and server Alice." Then go back to bed, and get well paid for it.
- tharkun__ 6y agoThat's nowadays. Contrast that with my dad. NOC calls at 2am and he has to drive I to work for half an hour. Do a 5 minute fix and drive back. Since they knew him and that he did good work sometimes they would call him even if he wasn't actually on call. He'd ignore those calls but you still wake up... And one time they actually sent a frickin taxi to our house. So half an hour after we ignore the phone, someone rang the door bell. Taxi from company X. He never quit that job but he signed up next union representative election and actually got elected too :)
