Pro tip: turn your phone off
If your not being paid for on call, dont be on call.
When the crowd strikes
Cant be a good date if you’re checking your work email in the middle of it
Always deploy on friday afternoon.
Hah! I wish it was email, so I could ignore it. Instead it’s either a Slack DM, which escalates to a phone call.
That’s what the work profile on your personal phone is for, so you can turn it off when you’re off the clock (or rather if you don’t get paid to be alert)
If it was so critical why did they deny my last raise?
Because yall didn’t unionize.
They said I didn’t need to because they were like a family.
What I didn’t realize is that they were like my family.
Remember the 6th Rule of Acquisition
Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity
And the 111th
Treat people in your debt like family… exploit them
If I’m not being explicitly paid to be on call, I’m not ever even having notifications come through to my phone from anything work-related.
