I’ve completely banned any code that can’t be explained. I’ve had my CTO send me code at 3 AM to implement and when I ask him what I’m looking at he just says it doesn’t need review, just push it.
Uhh, no sir, I’m not doing shit because you’ve handed me GCC and we’re MSVC.
After I bitched endlessly to the CEO about that he said I have final say on what goes into the project.
He knows best what’s best for him. If he’s explicitly paid extra to be on call 24/7, and he’s happy with that extra. Let him be om-call 24/7.
There are situations and jobs where 24/7 availability is needed. Someone has to do it. And if that someone believes he’s getting enough of a compensation for it, there’s nothing wrong with it.

I hope you don’t even respond until your next normal working hours!
I love my job, even when I have to deal with nonsense like that and I’m compensated very well to be on call 24/7.
No amount of money would make me put my health at risk like that. Been there at a job before where I was always working. No thanks.
that sets a really bad example. you shouldn’t do that to yourself and you shouldn’t allow it to happen to anyone else.
