> If your company doesn't want to pay for the aggravation, put your phone on silent, make sure alarms escalate to your manager, and start looking for another job.

There was a story floating round a company I used to work at, where (well before my time there) a manager had dropped the "on call" phone onto the desk of a dev with no notice, who was just told "$otherguy just quit, so you're taking the rest of his on call week". Said dev was leaving for (pre arranged and booked/paid for) vacation the next day, so he just surreptitiously slipped the on call phone into the managers briefcase and left for the week...

Manager ranted for a few hours about getting woken up, until senior management heard about it and very publicly slapped them down for it.
