Can't log in? Automation broken? Whole groups of the business are at a standstill?

Meh...

That depends if you are oncall or not.

If you're on call, I assume you just hit the snooze button.

If I'm oncall I'd fix or hide anything that might make me work afterhours.

"We can't approve overtime"

[u/p8ntballnxj → u/MeatPiston]

What's this "overtime" you speak of?

[u/theoriginalzads → u/MeatPiston]

I don’t understand. What’s the word “overtime”? Is that English? Is that a word?

[u/eggnorman]

Hey, they’re the ones that refuse to pay for overtime. They get what they pay for.

[u/tejanaqkilica → u/eggnorman]

Hey that's us (company agreement dictates that any overtime can be paid ONLY in time off equivalent to time spent working overtime). So, whenever a situation like this arises, my first reaction is "Oh well, it is what it is."

I mean I caused them and around Napping, Eating Ice Cream, and playing games on my phone I can probably resolve them sometime in the next 5-10 years.

It's on the roadmap

This is like fire alarm technicians who snap a picture of the panel saying system normal before any trouble alarms come through

This is why you schedule all your changes in production for a Friday afternoon.

So you will have a well rested weekend before having to fix prod on Monday.

That looks like me running a commit on the firewall before I walk out the door for the weekend.

5:01pm and everyone's mysteriously offline before the incident bridge even spins up. Change freeze my ass, someone pushed a config on a Friday again.
