| > my team probably don't know what they're supposed to do in the case of an emergency, so log in out of a mixture of curiosity and apprehensiveness Imagine you're at home with your wife celebrating your anniversary after a bottle of wine, or out celebrating your child's 6th birthday and you get a text from work that makes you apprehensive enough to stop what you're doing and log into work systems. Please talk to your team so none of them has to ever go through this. In my experience as an employee, it's a really shitty feeling. > I'd prefer not to impose that on my team. Is there a middle ground? Inclusion in the on-call rotation can be optional. If a person on the team wants and extra $x per month to be on call for y days per month, they're on the rotation. If another person doesn't want that, they're not. That was done at one of my previous employers, I think it worked great. Generally speaking the younger people without families opted in, and the older people with families opted out. I loved hiking/camping/getting out of town at every chance, so I always opted out :) (Please don't think all of the above means I dislike your management or something. Reading your other comments, it sounds like you'd be awesome to work for) |
