Very few professionals do night shifts. Equating a security guard with IT work is insane. The intellectual demands are nowhere near equivalent.
For professional examples of "night shifts", we have ER doctors. They do work 12-24 hour shifts -- but they're allotted a room they can sleep in between patients, and they often have 2-7 days between their shifts.
You going to pay infrastructure staff what you pay ER doctors for as much on-task work? Are those people going to actually know what to do when you put them on-task?
What happens when the IT staff needs to get a developer on-hand to resolve an issue? Wake them up?
- benihana 12y ago(for cases like Heroku) When infrastructure staff fuck up, people don't die. There's a massive difference between "make sure a few scripts I wrote earlier work right" and "patch up the guy who can see his guts cause some drunk driver ran a red light at 3 AM" >What happens when the IT staff needs to get a developer on-hand to resolve an issue? Wake them up? Yes. Have you never worked at a place with an on-call dev team?
