If you can, close slack while writing code - someone will call or tap you on the shoulder if there is an emergency.

When I'm on call, I've got to respond to slack messages in 4 different channels with a 1hour slo . Messages responded to outside the SLO get brought up at perf review. This isn't viable for some of us.

That’s a pretty tough gig.

What’s your title?

Are you expected to write code while “on call”?

Senior software engineer at a small company that was a startup but went public in 2021.

And yes, code productivity is expected to be unaffected. And yeah, I'm looking for a new job.

But that's worse!

Indeed, exactly my experience. =)
