I used to not mind oncall as much, before managerialism and corporate attitudes took over tech. It was fun (I’d also stressful) to feel in the trenches so to speak, while being treated as someone mildly crazy for taking on the responsibility but also not held to the same silly and stupid bureaucratic attitudes that afflicted the rest of the company. Now I’m supposed to talk to businessspeak talk and walk the promo game walk while also supposed to answer the phone at one am and stay up all night saving the business from melting down. Yes I know I’m ranting. The industry has turned into a miserable corporate grind like finance or something, only with the added obligation of someone has to mop up to slop in the middle of the night and that someone is me.
