How many hours per work are you working, both jobs combined?

I've never truly kept track its probably around 50-60 average. When I am oncall its like 80.

I've told leadership this already but their oncall alerts are complete trash. Most of them are more realistically warnings but they still demand you "validate" the warning and prove its not a bigger issue. Which just tells me its a bad "alert" as there is not really an action required to resolve it. In most cases.

Ours is an actual one. Its especially retarded because we have an actual database reliability team. They work on shifts are are available 24/7. But that is their explicit function. They do not have a development workload on top of that. We even have to deal with that gay jira alert app.

I am a developer in data infrastructure. The only actually important thing that I have to resolve with any of our alerts are client data issues. Mostly related to timing issues that are not my fault but because of how convoluted our ETL/ELT is you need to correct it in like 10 places to fix it even if something as simple as a timing window is missed.
