Sorry, but no. All the reasons that exist for developers doing on-call rotation are reasonable, yes, I admit that, but my reason to not do on-call rotation is also reasonable: I do not want to give my employer more than 40h/week. I just do not want more money in exchange for my free time. If your company doesn't provide that, then "alright, thank you" and I will keep looking. Now, if all companies start to require (paid) on-call rotation for developers: that would be a very sad tech scenario (at least for people like me).
- ghostwriter 5y agoCharge them with a significantly higher base pay if they are willing to include on-call into your list of responsibilites, or make sure your contract mentions exemption from on-call activities when you change an employer next time. In other words, make them see on-calls in salary budgets.
