Over 70% of cybersecurity professionals often have to work weekends to address security concerns at their organization, according to a new report by Bitdefender.
This intense workload appears to correlate strongly with job dissatisfaction, with around two-thirds (64%) of the 1200 cyber professionals surveyed stating that they are planning on looking for a new job in the next 12 months.
The issue of burnout and job dissatisfaction was particularly profound among UK respondents, with 81% often working weekends and 71% looking for a new job.
yeah fuck that, i don’t want 24/7 work just because they can theoretically reach my almost dead carcass 24/7.
we need unions asap 🧅
While I nominally agree, there are some situations and contexts in which an on-call rotation is not only appropriate, but the responsible thing to do.
That said, on-call people should get special compensation/rewards/perks, because being on call sucks.
Oh boohoo, you make 6 figures and have to work some weekends. Get over yourselves or better yet, get a job outside of a cubicle. Every job is going to have it’s good aspects and shitty aspects.
So would you rather work weekends, or up on a roof in the Florida sun?
