My contract says that I must get 8 hours clear.
If I get a call at 345, and resolve it at 0430, you will NOT see me before 1230. You will pay me from 0800-1700 but you will not see me tomorrow until lunch.
Name the thing that is so important I must work on it in the morning while sleep-impaired.
The thing you supposedly solved at 4:30
Nah. I wouldn't solve it; I'd resolve it. :-)
Usually a junior will pick up the problem ticket in the morning, and collab with a senior if it's a non-trivial fix. Soon as the workaround's in and the incident can close, the overnight nerd is back to bed and the 8 hours timer starts.
Unions and ITIL are the light and the way.
The domain controllers aren't going to apply untested upstream alpha changes to themselves! And tomorrow is Friday, so it's perfect!
I hate with a passion whoever you work for. I don't know you, I don't know them but I have a dislike for them that rivals the heat of the sun in the south on a day in mid July.
Thankfully I was channeling a former employer. I'm glad to be rid of that culture.
We built an automated pipeline, so yeah they will.
Ack! You made me spit my tea, laughing. That's perfect.
