On my last job somebody told my it's my turn for the support phone. In our case text messages if web based products are down. I never heard of it before, not during my interview or first month, never.
I didn't know how to react and said sure, here's my number. After waking up twice during the night I decided to mute my phone completly from 10pm to 7am.
Sometimes I woke up and had 50 messages and would try to solve the problem from home before heading in the office. Sometimes a coworker was already on it if they were in the office early.
One time my boss asked in the morning if I didn't get any messages. I said sure I did, but I was sleeping, I don't get paid to get up in the middle of the night. He didn't say anything and I would keep turning my notifications off :)
