Dealing with weekly SQL upgrades imposed by the software developers outside business hours. I’m not on call and feel compensation should be offered. Anyone else in this dilemma?
Based on my experience, being forced to perform after-hours SQL upgrades without compensation suggests a misalignment of responsibilities that requires immediate attention. In my previous role, similar practices led to detailed discussions with management and HR to clarify contractual terms and ensure that any deviation from regular hours was adequately compensated. I suggest reviewing the guidelines in your contract and submitting documented instances of after-hours work to initiate a conversation with the relevant departments. This proactive approach can lead to fairer arrangements and a more sustainable work environment.
