Yeah, 100% agree with you. It takes away a lot of enjoyability from your free time. And it also simply eliminates a lot of activities, like playing pretty much any team sport. In my case, I like playing basketball, and I can't go to a friendly game with friends when I'm on-call, unless there's more people to rotate for the game(so if I have to leave it's not that big of a deal for the rest) I didn't mean that being on-call it's great, far from it. I just think it's a reasonable way to compensate the employee. It sucks to be on-call, but someone has to be. The right people have to be notified of the right alerts and not just notify everyone affected. Also, if it's been a night call, they usually allow the employee to come in late. I think we as a collective have "dropped the ball". Doctors do "on call" on premise, getting paid every hour, or have ample wait times. We don't have any of those |

I hired a guy as a DBA for an AS/400 system I have spoken about...
I was his manager, yet he was hired by the CIO as a DBA making twice my salary...
He claimed to have done roll-back, backup, general DB management, etc for Bank of America (bank of ireland FYI, Gianinni family)
---
He would regularly "false-flag" issues with DB backups syncs, etc...
Meaning that he would report "issues" he 'resolved' during his night shift...
It was later determined he was causing the problems because he was inept, and would report back when he fixed problems he himself caused as successes...
I resented this guy.
He was let go for lying on his resume... but the CIO "vetted" him...
a few days after he was hired, he showed up in a new BMW 5 series... [he was a russian tied to the russian mob] ---
A few years later, I googled him to see where he landed...
There was an article from the city we worked in - same car, same color, same name...
He was found dead - stuffed in the trunk...
Same guy, same name, same city.... same car...
