I am on vacation next week but am still the primary on-call. I will take pages if I'm available or pass/escalate to the next guy if I'm not. Since I'm on vacation it's understood to be a best effort. Normally I would switch with someone but it's a busy vacation week so we just figure it out. I took a two hour call the morning of thanksgiving, for reference.

> I am on vacation next week but am still the primary on-call. Whatever that is, it isn't vacation.

  It's like the difference between vacation and prison. In both case you are away from home.

Do you at least get compensated for on-call?

That sounds like a shitty vacation combined with doing a bad job at being oncall.
