My fundamental issue with being on call is that I care more about my personal life & health than I do about whether my employer’s website is operational.
I assume everyone does! So...why do we put up with on-call at all?
Maybe there’s something to this labor solidarity thing
We need a healthy incentive for on-call and to reduce on-call utilization. Some mix of a team bonus for reducing incidents and extra comp for dealing with incidents. It’d be interesting if there was a team bonus that got smaller as incidents crept up.

Or maybe it could come out of a manager’s bonus so they’d be incentivized to let teams stabilize software. Incentives work so well for sales teams but are rarely used on engineering teams IME.
