ghost in the shell, but somehow much worse
College Slice
I will never accept an FTE position again in IT if it is salaried and overtime is expected, especially if you have to work on-call. I have seen so, so many people get their time off work seriously abused because of a loving pager, especially in healthcare IT where everything is an emergency and has to be fixed right away.

I am so happy as a consultant. I am not allowed to work overtime (we used to be the ones that would work the really long command center shifts during implementations, but that stopped really quick once they did the math on our collective overtime payments) and I don't get health benefits or vacation, but as soon as I hit my daily hours I close my laptop lid with a smile and do whatever the gently caress I want without having to deal with getting paged every hour.
