Um. Then you need to hire people for that. Sorry, but, "i'm not paid to be on call 24/7 but I am anyway" is not a reasonable argument. Fix it or deal with it and move on.
And what do you mean, "worse than regular jobs?" Have you looked around much lately? Sitting in front of a computer all day doing what you love pales in comparison to about 95% of all jobs on the earth. And do you really think "HR" people just go home and chill? Everyone has responsibilities that exceed their billed hours. That is part of life.
- witoldc 14y agoYou presume that somehow HR/bizdev/whatever people like less what they do. In fact, many of them enjoy the different challenges their job pose as well. The difference is that they leave at COB almost always. Jobs where tech people just check out at 5pm appear to be rare. There are always fires to be put out. There are always harsh deadlines to be met as people scramble burning the midnight oil to put out the latest release and fix whatever comes up at the last minute. Things like that. That's the tech world I know, maybe you're one of the lucky ones where this is not the case. For all these reasons, I would expect tech jobs to be less desirable overall and people to be better compensated.
