Honestly, this sounds like a nightmare. It brings me back to my sysadmin days when I was getting paid $10/hour.
I would need to get paid lots of money to do this (dig into my precious free time). Probably more than 37signals is ever willing to may me.
A buddy of mine is a sysadmin and told me that at his work, only the "best" techs get this duty. The company makes it sound like an honor to get pager duty and have to deal with putting out fires at 2am.
- rdl 15y agoThere are ways to do ops which don't suck as much for the ops people -- for exempt/salaried, offering liberal comp time for taking on-call shifts, and even more if there are alerts, is pretty nice. And making sure all the tools for on-call people are as convenient as possible. There surely is some price where being woken up is worth it to you. If it happens once a month and you get a day off the next week, I'm pretty happy.
