- fastest963 9mo agoI wouldn't say it's without pay. It's in the job description when you're hired and the pay should compensate for that. SREs are typically paid very well.
- stevewodil 9mo agoOn call rotations are part of basically every engineering team that owns any production service at tech companies, not just SRE
- server_man3000 9mo agoOncall being in the job description just doesn’t rationalize the abuse and insanity Ive seen myself and my team go through. I don’t think a bullet in a job description and expected baseline pay for a tech job is reasonable enough to accept that either.
