For me it's built in as a senior software dev, no extra compensation. But, it's 3 or 4 one-week shifts a year because everyone is in the rotation. Usually nothing happens. We are a small company (< 150) and we run a public marketplace website, so someone has to do it.

If either I was in a more junior position, or the on call issues were very frequent, then I might feel differently.

I don't know your situation, but I would ask: what has changed? Is the product turning out to be less reliable than expected, or has the previous arrangement for support failed somehow, funding cut etc.?

In a previous job we built projects with 18 month dev cycles, and then went into a 6 month session of intensive support, basically being on call every day. But we always knew that going in.

Because you believe in the mission and we are working together to xyz?

Employees are employees, replaceable, out source, lay-off

Being in it together does sometimes payoff good luck

I'm not sure what you're asking. I just believe in economics.
