Wow. Just wow.
yeah. out of all the possible lessons they could have learned..
I suppose the IT types are considerably different than Process Operations. Our rule is to only make changes scheduled at 09:00 (or no later than will permit a complete backout and restore by 15:00) Local Time on "Full Staff" day that is not immediately preceded or followed by a reduced staff day, holiday, or weekend-day.
Do you get paid differently based on time of day? I used to be at a place where they were drifting into a 'no changes until midnight' mode except for one group; the rumor I heard was they got overtime pay after 6PM which is why they got to do all their changes during the day. Lee
