I also drew the short straw for on-call this weekend. I've probably already clocked up 10hrs following a network failure at one of our datacenters.

I'm not an essential worker, but I want to pass on my Christmas wishes to people who are; doctors, nurses, healthcare assistance, ambulance crews, fire crews, police and everyone else who keeps the world turning over the Christmas holiday. Thank you all for your hard work!

In my opinion “essential worker” is a very blurred line. People depend on technology and the internet. There are real consequences when things stop working.

In the U.K. there was a lot of yabbering about “key workers” during lockdown. Nobody even mentioned the people working in power plants.
