It’s early in the days of the post-iPhone smartphone boom, and this pilot fish is in the weekly status meeting with his fellow development managers, where the on-call rotation schedule for developers is always a bone of contention.
The idea is that all developer must take turns providing back-end support for difficult support requests, says fish.
But at this meeting, fish has a simple suggestion to keep the rotation moving along smoothly: The company should provide a single mobile phone, to be handed off to whoever is on call. That way there would be only one number the help desk has to call in case of after-hours emergencies.
Fish says a smartphone would be worth the investment, because the on-call dev person would at least have something to play with and show off to friends during the much-despised on-call duty.
