"This could destroy your marriage and your family." seems like a good intro.
I still remember getting paged when I was explicitly NOT on the pagerduty rotation at my tenth anniversary dinner with my wife. Ruined the whole day. And I wasn't making particularly good money.
If you aren't free to do what you want, you should be getting paid like you're at work.
- DiggyJohnson 2y agoDid you have to ACK that? I don’t mean to be dubious, but sometimes I worry that the nature of this discussion forum amplifies the issue because commenters are disproportionately likely to act on the work instead of “I didn’t have my pager device.”
- krackers 2y agoFunny that most companies have no problems with outsourcing roles, but for some reason many expect on-callers to be available outside business hours. They could easily hire someone on the opposite time-zone.
