I've had my CTO send me code at 3 AM

I hope you don't even respond until your next normal working hours!

I love my job, even when I have to deal with nonsense like that and I'm compensated very well to be on call 24/7.

No amount of money would make me put my health at risk like that. Been there at a job before where I was always working. No thanks.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 8 points 2 days ago

that sets a really bad example. you shouldn't do that to yourself and you shouldn't allow it to happen to anyone else.

He knows best what's best for him. If he's explicitly paid extra to be on call 24/7, and he's happy with that extra. Let him be om-call 24/7.

There are situations and jobs where 24/7 availability is needed. Someone has to do it. And if that someone believes he's getting enough of a compensation for it, there's nothing wrong with it.

Yup, I was on call 24/7.... compensated very well and now I'm retired at 43. So, yea I'm going to have to go with letting the dude make his own choice as far as what's best for him.

I'm going to retire at 40, I think I'll keep going instead of listening to you.
