Used to be an engineer working for company that supplied high tech production equipment to car companies. After final installation and proving / commissioning there was a six month period of 'cover' - this meant designated engineer could be called on 24/7 to fix any problems that slowed or stopped production. It was the short straw for any of us, a £35 callout payment did nothing to soften the effect of a call at 2AM and a longish car journey along deserted roads to fix something that one of the car company maintenance people had broken / crashed ( robots). Our company made a mint from such contracts, but we didn't.
