[Hidden-tech] What to charge for emergency support ?

[Florence I.T.]

I never carried a beeper in the IT field without compensation. All I'm 
saying is *I* wouldn't, and I wouldn't recommend it. My personal life 
and time with my family cannot have a price, but if someone wants to 
take some of that time away it better pay very well, either as part of 
the whole package or specifically for carrying the beeper. I carried a 
beeper 1 weekend a month for MassMutual as a LAN Admin myself, 
compansation was part of the salary, I don't consider that as apples to 
apples here.
