This has been the worst on call experience I’ve ever had. As soon as I get close to catching up I get something new sent to me. I had an hour and a half or so, just after noon, when I wasn’t working. The rest of the day I’ve been working and generally not having a clue what to do. One of the things that makes this type of on call situation awful is that I am not just covering my application. I’m covering seven others as well. Most of those are apps that I have never even seen prior to today, but I have to be one of only two members of the staff who handle all issues for those apps on my platform. It’s not even my platform anymore, it’s the platform I used to work in.
I get paid for this crap, but I still hate it. I tried to get some one to take this off of my hands, but everyone else in the rotation was smart enough to stay away.
This sucks.
