When will I learn to not look at my work’s smartphone in my free time? 😂 Opened the corporate chat, instant regret.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is why I don’t have a work phone 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m pretty much required to have one. 🫤
@movq@www.uninformativ.de for oncall?
@prologic@twtxt.net It’s not “true” oncall duty (I don’t do that anymore, it fucks up your life and health), but more of an unwritten rule that sysadmins should have a smartphone. If there is an emergency and I happen to have time to help, I will. But nobody can force me to. So far, it works for us.
And, well, I also need that thing for 2FA. 😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de So basically on-call, but you don’t get paid for it? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t get paid for “standing by” and “waiting for a call”, that’s right. But I’m fine with that, because I don’t have to be available, either. 😅 If someone were to call me (or send me a text message), I wouldn’t be obliged to help them out. If I have the time and energy, I will do it, though. And that extra time will be paid.
It works for us because there are enough people around and there’s a good chance that someone will be able to help.
Really, I am glad that we have this model. The alternative would be actual on-call duty, like, this week you’re the poor bastard who is legally required to fix shit. That’s just horrible, I don’t want that. 😅
What I was referring to in the OP: Sometimes I check the workphone simply out of curiosity. 😂
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 😝
