How One Engineer Cut Their On-Call Fatigue by 60 Percent

On-call burnout is a hidden crisis in software engineering. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how a senior engineer at a mid-sized SaaS company systematically reduced their team's on-call fatigue by 60 percent — without adding headcount or sacrificing reliability. They break down the specific changes: smarter alert routing, tiered escalation, a blame-free postmortem culture, and a simple dashboard that made 'who is carrying the pager' visible to the whole org. The result? Fewer false alarms, faster incident resolution, and a team that actually slept. If you've ever been woken up at 3 AM for a non-critical alert, this one's for you. #OnCall #IncidentResponse #SRE #AlertFatigue #Burnout #DevOps #SiteReliabilityEngineering #Postmortem #PagerDuty #Automation #TechDebt #EngineeringCulture #Reliability #TechLeadership #SoftwareEngineering #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
