On call shouldn't have 24/7 responsibilities. For example, I'm on call and took a call this morning due to MySQL Server running out of space. Terraform change later, it's no longer out of space and I'm back to my day. I'll take 30 minutes it took me to resolve out of my normal time elsewhere.

If on call balloons your 40 hours to 70 hours, yes, you have an issue. That's not normal and you should consider changing jobs.

Waking someone up is going to cost far more than the time spent fixing the issue.

		I wasn’t woken up. If someone is woken up, it’s expected they take more time off.

If you are expected to carry your laptop and answer the phone you are working. Whether you get paged or not is irrelevant.

The corporate gaslighting is strong with this one.

you should be looking for another job… immediately… terraforming on YOUR time is no way to live…
