Are you actually on call? Like, do you have a beeper next to you? Will you suffer consequences if you don't respond? There is "oh things aren't going great I guess I need to cut my vacation to Austria short" and then there is "I cannot go out for drinks, I cannot take a nap, I must have my company laptop with me and with good Wi-Fi" on-call. Oh, and for the latter you're getting paid a few hundred an hour at best. Just putting that out there.

Some may receive compensation of this nature, many more may not. You are making wild assumptions. Just putting that out there.


You think people are being paid more than this?


I know people are paid less.


Hence why I said “at best”?


Oh, my apologies, this caused me to re-read your post and I now realised I have misunderstood the point you were trying to make.

My bad :(


No worries :)
