    My father, a construction worker, always laughs at how we developers have a destress time in the morning. Or rather, he laughs at how our days seem to start around 9:30 while most blue-collar jobs start at sunrise. That destress period is SO damn important. We needs our minds to be clear to get anything done.

      @@ThomasFoolery8 I wouldn't put new hires on call. That's like having a brand new mechanic trying to fix a Maserati. We give a minimum of 8 months before you're able to serve for on-call. It all depends on what the problem is. If it's a level 1, then all managers and dev leads are called. If it's a level 4, only the person that's on duty will be called. Only really big tech giants have on-call duties, especially Microsoft. Our On-Call duties last one month per year and I absolutely hate it.

Yet, for most issues we’ll train up some junior dev to go through the motions to fix the problem. They’d only escalate to me if it’s way outside of their scope. For overnight issues, our London office takes care of it. This is the least an international company should do for their devs.
