Working healthcare, I tell all other healthcare / first responders “I hope you have a boring shift” (every once in a while a younger person objects, but they are almost immediately hushed / corrected by their senior coworker).

But it occurs to me that many office / sedentary workers might not find this to be a blessing. What would I say to a desk worker that might be equivalent?

    Hope your Friday is read-only. Because no one wants to ship code changes on a Friday. (No one will be there on the weekend to babysit changes)

      I’m in a giant organisation. All our releases are on Fridays and Saturdays to give Sunday for user acceptance test. Our big releases are Christmas and Easter for the extra time they offer for UAT. Last time I was on duty for UAT my slot was 02:00 to 02:30 boxing day, and the product hadn’t been deployed correctly

      Yet. And it’s the weekend when they want to do all the production patches. “Well sure, we can assign the last people to step back when asked, the least senior or adept, and have ZERO backup when they fuck up your prod server. See ya Monday!”
