You expect to not be responsible for what happens to the software you put into production?
(… and I'd like to avoid distracting arguments that amount to "my company does on-call badly" — yeah, those problems do exist and we should strive to fix them.

Prod goes down on a Saturday afternoon; are you going to tell management "tough cookies" until Monday?)
