Yeah I have a vivid memory of hysterically crying after getting less than 12 hours of sleep over 3 or 4 days during a particularly bad shift. My pager went off 30 minutes before the end of my shift and I lost it. I should’ve passed the pager but I was too “up” to recognize it and my manager at the time was completely clueless about oncall work. Actually at that same company getting paged 8-10 times off-hours during an oncall shift was not unheard of, the burnout was real… I’m surprised there aren’t more lawsuits regarding this because the toll of sleep deprivation on health is well known.
- bckr 4y agoThanks for sharing that. I had a similar experience at my last job. The emotional/physical toll is so real. On the one hand, guess that's why we get paid? On the other hand, screw that.
