Sounds like dude doesn’t know about the concept of teams paid to be on-call 24/7.

I’m sure those are exempt. If a well-managed critical server goes down at 2am, you can be sure some employee is part of an on-call team for just such an event.

That’s not with this about. This is about bugging people to work when they are off the clock.

This is about bugging people to work when they are off the clock.

And that's exactly what Kevin is advocating for. He wants the benefits of an on-call team without having to pay for an on-call team.

Oh he knows. He just wants the benefit without the cost.
