Ask HN: Does your on-call rotation suck? Can I join it?
Hi HN
I'm doing some field research on unique ways on-call rotations can be unhealthy. It would be great to hear some anecdata from the community about /why/ you feel your on-call rotation sucks - and I figure it would be even better to experience it firsthand :)
I do understand asking to join/shadow your rotation is probably not practical however I am 100% serious and happy to sign whatever.
Cheers & may your pager stay silent

You know it's broken, everyone knows it's broken but it keeps alerting.
And you're allocated the time for on-call, salaried for it, but never assigned the task to fix the damn thing. So instead, you and your team burn maybe-I-have-to-get-up-at-night-time instead of definitely-attempting-to-fix-it-time.
It's like hitting snooze on the alarm clock. It's an illusion. You gonna have to wake up. You're not getting any more sleep.
I stopped hitting snooze as I got older. I either wake up or give up and sleep in..
