Yup. In fact, I transitioned out of development in part because of the prevalence of this. I have learned the hard way that my work/life boundary is absolutely critical to my mental health and wellbeing. Even if it's relatively infrequent, any period of being on-call is incredibly stressful to me. I am willing to work some periods of long hours (within reason), but I am not willing to be in a position where I can be called or paged at night or on a weekend. No job is worth that to me. Hats off to the folks who can tolerate it. We need those people! But I am definitely not one of them.
