Make Money Online[110] Why You Shouldn't Be On Call 24/7
Why Alan Weiss says you should put yourself on call 24/7 (and why we
disagree with that).
Being on call 24/7 disrupts your work/life balance and exceeds
boundaries.
Unless you're working in a situation like DevOps, Backups, or it's a
situation where Something Is On Fire And Costing The Business
Millions, it isn't necessary.
