It seems to always step from that CEO, or chief, or VP that works 7 days a week in some capacity. Maybe its an hour or two on the weekends to send some email about an idea they had or something they want to see but its enough that those below them feel they have to respond to that higher up so they work another 2-4 hours to account for him working those 1-2. Then it comes down to managers and tech leads who have to work half or the entire day sometimes to make up for that one chief thinking their 1 hour of work was enough to raise a question that will solve an issue.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoIt's kind of the same principle as "on call", if you want someone to be consistently available for periodic, unpredictable events, you have to have them available all the time.
- lvspiff 2y agoI left a company because they started to consider "exempt" employees as "on-call" 24/7. They felt like adding personal numbers to OpsGenie and other alerting systems was perfectly reasonable. "Exempt" employee status is a real disservice in the technical field . With uptime and security issues constantly being identified and requiring immediate intervention its really allowed employers to exploit salaried employees to work extra hours without compensation.
