That doesn’t work. It results in emotional blackmail “don’t be the person letting the team down by refusing to be on call”, “share the burden with your team”, “everyone else has no problems going on call”, “I got a call out on my kids birthday in the park at a party, here’s a photo of me sat in the corner on a laptop, it wasn’t so bad”, “take one for the team, we give you free softdrinks and deli bar”


Y’all need to reevaluate who you’re giving your time to, these reactions are clearly the result of some serious trauma that’s got nothing to do with the concept of being “on call”…
