No plans this year.
Probably for the best tbh as the engineer scheduled for on call this yr has been off sick and put in another line means I get the joy of on call instead of him.
Just hop I remember how all this shit works if I get phoned
What kinda engineer are you?
I used to be a ssre (snr site reliability engineer) but then my gaffer got a promotion and in his sick final act he made me replace him
Lol with great power comes great responsibility!!
Said yes because the last thing I. Need is breaking in a rando with zero clue how the product or the department works.
Kinda regretting that 🤣
Get a backfill at least? Never a great time to onboard, so needs must!
Aye. The very 1st task I got to do as gaffer was promote my replacement and create an equivalent role to that in my over seas team. That part felt nice I will admit
What's your on-call rates like? Worth a sober Hogmanay?
Normal rates plus a £500 bonus
The tax office loves it
That is decent at least, as a programmer I strive to ensure zero on-call required
There's been 1 call on Xmas day and that was about 10 or 11 yrs ago. So touch wood that trend continues
Hope there was no call out for you!!
Nah was all good.
Money gor old rope
