I 100% fully agree with you. I have survived 2 cardiac arrests (almost died) during high-stress times. I've been stable for a few years now, but only after I enacted VERY HARD boundaries around work/life and never cut down on sleep for any reason (among other health-first changes I made). I have a significant increase in cardiac arrythmias any time I don't sleep enough. I consider myself at this point as having a disability that prevents me from overworking, and I absolutely need my employers to respect that and accommodate that. I can work normal hours, and that's my offer. If you want to pay me less, that's okay, but I'm not doing on-call unless it's business hours only. If customers give a shit about uptime at 2am then it's management's responsibility to find people in other time zones to deal with it, or pay extra for people who are willing to sacrifice and risk their health for a customer (I won't take that deal though). |
