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.

That's our Cloud Operations people.

Normally I could spin up just about anything in Azure I felt like trying out and remove it later. They locked all of that down last year so I have to go beg them to let me have an Azure Function App to mess with or any other feature on the platform. Its so annoying I don't even bother. It's legitimately faster to just do a total DIY solution and host it on Kubernetes/Rancher and be done with it. That is how retarded that team is.

Explaining how I can use something retarded like a Azure Function App (AWS Lambda equivalent) or a Logic App to a retard who has no idea what use they have is... tiring.
